you asked.
first, they were daintily remissive (appalled) of media (construed as American policy on Iraq). Now, THEY ARE GUNG-HO on Iran.
Why?
WERE THEY CONSERVING THE 'heft" of their morality while playing us? The benefit from secure oil supplies has been cut in half since the start of the Iraq war, so, I'm inclined to believe that wasn't the US motive; I think we were either played by the EU to do their dirty work for them (open-up the middle east for consistent and modestly incremental profits) while simultaneously engendering a wealth of potential exploitation a la America. So, what part is the EU really playing in this?
I LIKE THE GRAND CANYON
I LIKE THE RAIN FOREST
I LIKE THE OCEANS (both East and West; Atlantic and Pacific)
I LIKE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE AND ATHEISTS
I feel like I am American and I am being played.
It used to be that people would bring-up these obvious abnormalities (people more educated than me). Where have they gone?
I love Mexico for its voluptuous, vibrant art. I love Canada, equally well, for Vancouver and its fastidiousness.
Am I suppose to care?
I love best the idea that my country is made-up of all these myriad elements.
It used to be that someone with a more rigorous academic perspective than me would bring this up in discussion. Now, no-one does. Why? I resent being made a fool but I still want to know. WHY?
