Now we Want to Talk to Europe

| | Comments (1)

It is time to open a new chapter in our relationship, and a new chapter in our alliance. America stands ready to work with Europe on our common agenda, and Europe must stand ready to work with America. After all, history will surely judge us not by our old disagreements, but by our new achievements.

Wrong!

Why must Europe stand ready to work with America when America told most of Europe to take a flying leap? Honestly, I wouldn’t give our arrogant country lip service for how we’ve treated others. Now that the war in Iraq is going badly, we suddenly want Europe’s help.

For a smart person, Rice says some of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.

Ms. Rice told her audience of students, teachers and current and former French officials that Americans and Europeans have had their greatest successes when they refused to accept an unacceptable status quo and put their values to work for the cause of freedom.

Did it ever occur to her that the U.S. policies may have been “an unacceptable status quo” to Europe? She just doesn’t get it, and neither does her boss.
