#1 Many Europeans are frighteningly stupid.

#2 I hope they don't go around rounding up all the Jews and gassing them again.

#3 Yeah, they also should have added in these questions:

Do you have a Job?

Have you ever been had a National Symbol destroyed on live television?

Which is the richest and most powerful country in the world?

Should the US make Europe pay for all the protection it provided against the USSR?

If the US pays for Iraq, would you support diverting US aid to your country to pay for it?

#4 Do I give a rat's a$$? No (100%)

Half the nations of Europe have finally worked themselves into a situation where they are totally irrelevant to the really important issues facing the world these days. The United Nations is dead, and needs a decent burial, preferably in a cement coffin. Kyoto was DOA in the US Senate, and the death was further certified with Thursday's defeat of the "mini-Kyoto" that McCain & "friend" tried to push through the Senate. Without Kyoto, the Europeans know they'll never be able to keep up with the US economy. Their only hope for salvation was using Kyoto to destroy our economy, to make their lackluster productivity look halfway decent.

The only Army in Europe that could actually defend its country without help is Switzerland's (and possibly Britain, but it would depend on who was attacking). The European economy is in the toilet, and if Britain is excluded, the number of new patents and innovative ideas coming from Europe - "old Europe" especially - is miniscule. The 'non-government' boycott of France and French products shattered the myth that Europe had something the US wanted, and we'd do anything to get it. Most of the nations of Europe are suffering from a malignant cancer called "Socialism" - a form of feel-goodism that destroys initiative, hard work, thrift, and common sense.

Somebody call the undertakers, and tell them they'll have a 'client' soon.

#5 Possibly Britain?
If I had to bet on a European army (and I hope to God I never have to), I would pick the Brits over the Swiss any day of the week.
