Vaara has a question:
Most people in France, Germany and Belgium are passionately opposed to a non-UNSC-approved
war against Iraq. Their leaders, for daring to represent their peoples’ views, are
universally excoriated as anti-democratic Stalinists, Nazis, tyrants, dictators, etc.Most people in Poland, Hungary, Spain, Italy, and every other European country are also
passionately opposed to a non-UNSC-approved war against Iraq. Their leaders, for flouting
the will of their people and cravenly following the U.S. line, are universally praised as
representing the shiny happy democratic freedom-loving future of ‘New Europe’.To summarize: European leaders listening to their people BAD, European leaders ignoring
their people GOOD.Could some anti-peace ilk-type person please explain this to me?
