My reasoning, in a nutshell, contained your statement. I meant fear of a totalitarianism regime which had "world rule" on it's agenda. If Europe were to fall, it only would have been a matter of time until the Axis may have decided to invade America. F.D.R. beat them to the punch!

it may be true.but Belgium is also good at keeping foreign criminals=killers in the country even though it's demanded to let go of them to their own countries to be punished.
about those criminals that should be deported to turkey: its just because they are still using the death penalty.
think about that one.
yes,but this has nothing to do with what is about to happen now.its the other end.

For the record, let me state that I'm a 25 year old American. I've lived in Texas for 24 of those years, and in Oklahoma for 1. I've never been to Europe, although I'd love to visit. I really have no preconceptions about Europeans being nice or rude, and I hate generalizing a people based on a few bad ones.
That being said, I find it funny when Europeans (or the world) judge Americans based solely on Bush's actions, CNN, and what they see on TV (John Wayne movies, Baywatch), when those same Europeans have never been to the US.
Talk about horrible generalizations. Jeez man, have you ever been to the South, or are you basing this on movies you've seen? Hell, you might be one of these dumbasses that think people in Texas ride horses everywhere and that we all wear cowboy boots and cowboy hats and sit their chewin' tobacco while saying words like "y'all". I've visited New York and I must say that was the ugliest city I've visited. People are in such a hurry to get somewhere that they ignore you. Assholes.
About the gun issue. I don't own a gun. And to be honest, California has a much worse gun problem than the South. Get your facts straight.
What new ideas are non-existant in the SOuth? I'd like your input on this one. And if you say the death penalty, please try again.
If I sound angry, I apologize. It just annoys me to no end when someone generalizes things based on everything BUT fact. Carry on...

Sorry, DL, my apologies. Allow me to explain....
My post about the "south" was an "inside joke" meant for a friend of mine (who's a transplanted Southerner, living here in NY). We have this running joke about the "South" & the "North" - this was all meant in good fun! Sadly, he has yet to visit this thread, and I was HOPING that no one would take it seriously or take offense in it! Well, so much for that! I'm expecting to him to chime in soon....he's dying to read what Europeans, etc., have to say about America.
But, in all honesty, I actually have been to many Southern cities & deal in business with people all over the country. As it turns out, I do feel that, generally speaking, the "South" is far more conservative than the "North". Again, this IS an admitted generalization, however. I have many friends here in NY, who are staunch conservatives!
As for me, I ride a fine line between both sides - depends upon the issue(s) in question!

you know (I hope) that there's a War Crimes Tribunal at The Hague.
(now very busy with former Yougoslavia)
The americans voted a law so that they can invade the Netherlands in case Americans (war criminals) are caught...
(and if they should be brought to trial)
Since you mentioned the Serbs, who happen to be near by by the way, I think you all know that Kosovo was bombed cos a not so pretty girl was sucking the president's dick. That's the only reason, I'm not joking... Well that and a good opportunity to test new missiles and aircrafts...
