More on How the Euroweenies Want to Spare Saddam's Life

I wasn't the only one who noted the Europeans' stance against the death penalty for that great humanitarian, Saddam Hussein. James Lewis in "The American Thinker" has an excellent essay on the subject:

We have protected Europe for a century with our blood and treasure. Under our protection they have constructed a Disneyland for adults, one that is utterly unable to defend itself. Instead, they have imported tens of millions of ideologues who want nothing more than to take over Europe.
Yet Europe is obnoxiously ready to preach morality to the decent nations of the world who are not as deluded as they are. True to their endless imperialistic arrogance, they are now exporting yet another world-conquering ideology, a fuzzier version of communism, aiming to actively hog-tie the United States through a hundred international treaties.

It's time that we called a spade a spade and acknowledged the fact that most Europeans are not our allies. Here's a rundown of the countries in Western Europe:

UK - may be an ally. Tony Blair has been a faithful friend but there are many in Britain who feel the same way the Frogs do

Denmark - probably an ally. They have supported the liberation of Iraq and have courageously resisted the islamofascists' attempts to curtail their civil liberties.

Netherlands, Italy, Portugal - maybe

France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, Luxemburg, Austria, Greece, Switzerland, Ireland -- hell no. With "allies" like these, who needs enemies?

Eastern Europe -- difficult to say. Many of them supported the liberation of Iraq but since then have backtracked on the issue. These countries are still in the process of carving out their identities after leaving the Soviet sphere of influence.

Many if not most Europeans do not favor free enterprise and do not cherish civil liberties such as freedom of speech. Why should we care about their opinions? I say we do what we think is right and quit worrying about what they want. If the current trends continue, much of Western Europe will become a socialist hellhole with most citizens dependent on the government. And once their muslim populations grow to a critical mass, they will probably adopt sharia and become a third world nightmare.
