    Relations between 1950 and now among Western European countries with a record absence of mass destruction ? (xenophobic rant coming) After centuries of Dutch-British-French-German-Italian-Spanish-Swedish-Austrian-Hungarian lunacy ?

    And on the other hand, made up threats are no real threats.

    Just to drop in for a moment...

    I can second Hack n Slash's posts. Europe can't be examined as one thing, it consists of LOTS of nations, nationalities and ethnical groups, with extremely varying political, economic and cultural connections and attributes.

    This is the reason for why this topic might have ended as an US-discussing thread; non-Europeans think of Europe as one (little) place. Especially the average American, who is very self-centric and doesn't really know where most of the European countries are, inside Europe. (I'm not generalizing, just talking about the average; I know several individuals who are citizens of USA and have a very wide intellectual horizon regarding the events and processes of the world) .

    Dont diss Europe! They were my favorite band when I was a kid, and the lead singers true first name is the same as mine. So there!

    Hey, if Europe can prance around in tights, make-up, and big blowdried/hairsprayed hair and not get beaten up all the time, then I say they're not cowards at all.

    Serves me right for trying to push this mis-guided ship back on topic. ('80's hair bands, bah!)

    And in the immortal words of somebody: "Knock it off you bozos!"
