In the news today in Belgium, a survey taken before the british sailors story, shows that 52% of Europeans are in favor of a military action to stop Iran in their quest to nuclear products. Danish (68%) and Belgian(65%) are the most in favor while Malta(37%) and Slovakia(38%) are less in favor. http://www.lalibre.be/article.phtml?id=10&subid=83&art_id=341597 Maybe the Iranian nuclear problem is a true problem, but the fact that Muslims sneak Europe might be a bigger problem in a day to day life and could amplify the survey's numbers...Who knows??
Europe has recently started to show some balls. There will be a time that even Russia and China wake up. .
Right then, if the Belgies are up for it I suppose we'd better go. Interesting that these are the same nations that won't contribute anything to the military effort.
It is doubtfult that either China or Russia will "wake up" to anything. There is a pipeline that runs from Iran to both countries deliverying oil from Iran. That's what it is about.. Oil. Why do you think these countries are pissed about the Iraq war? They were getting oil for food, illegally...
plus Russia is the one supplying Iran with Nuke Tech right now, if the mad moolahs ever decide to pay up...I'm going to love watching Israel (probably unless Iran does something stupid again like kidnapping soldiers) destroy those Nuke facilities.
