The Soviet Union provided the basis for a strong NATO. Other countries have existed too long (are too cynical?) to go along with morality plays.<br /><br />The United States has long used a missionary bent to inspire or at least justify to Americans the necessity for the export of Judeo Christian democraciy to areas of the world where by culture, borders, and religion the "natives" are not politically, religiously or economically ready to adopt our framework. The colonialist nations of Europe are wll aware of this and support our efforts only up to the limits which their own people will permit. Each is perfectly willing to have the United States throw away our men, materials and treasure, bringing us back to their level.Truthful Jamesnoreply@blogger.com
