Europe, beware: Obama speaks with two tongues
It is time Europeans realized the US is NOT their friend. Nor do Europe and the US share a common heritage and culture as is so often affirmed by romantic dreamers. TheUS is a reactionary theocracy, whereas Europe still cherishes some democratic principles. It is not yet too late to turn the tide and reinstate true parliamentary democracy. Therefore, there is but one real answer to the present threat to Europe's security: to reconsider its ties with the US and put them on a different footing. For instance, by throwing the US out of NATO, merging NATO with the European Union and establishing an alliance with Russia. Any objections by Poles, Czechs, Bulgarians, or whoever, should just be ignored. While this may seem too radical for the moment, it would certainly be a good start for Europeans to stop using English when dealing with US officials. It would be much so more advantageous to use a European language such as German, French or Italian. This would have the immediate effect of forcing US officials into an inferior position in every official meeting with European counterparts. Standing up against the US would moreover have the added benefit of gaining the eternal gratitude and friendship of Europe's Muslim minorities, who deep down dislike the US.
Instead Europe is toeing the US party line. It is fighting Muslim fundamentalism outside Europe, while pampering radical Muslims at home. Thus it is creating an entirely new set of contradictions. Moreover, by turning into terrorist organizations themselves, European nations are in effect contributing to their own eventual undoing.
