If you’re content to stick your head in the sand, yes, you’re right, who cares what France does? Or for that matter, what Britain, Germany or any European country does. But if you are a citizen of a country that’s advertised itself as ’the beacon of the free world’ since the First World War, then take your head out of the sand, and start caring. Otherwise, stop calling your country ’the beacon of the free world’ anymore and stop being a hypocrite. In my opinion, you are the xenophobe, you and the millions like you, are the problem. You neo-cons seem to think that it’s still 1946, and that US economic output still represents over half the world’s GDP. Wake up and smell the coffee, you xenophobic neo-cons. The US’s economic output is less than a fifth of the world’s total output today , and if the French people vote ’yes’ on this crucial referendum, the US will soon find itself to be the world’s second economic power, and first place will go to the EU. Most of the leaders of the EU already know that Europe really doesn’t need NATO, nor 250,000 American troops in Europe anymore. After all, the Soviet pact is a ghost now, and they have more to fear from Americans like yourself than any kind of terrorist. A Europe that will make closer ties not only with Russia, which definitely has vaster oil reserves than the Middle East, but with China as well, simply because they find American imperial ambitions as intolerable as any other country’s imperial ambitions. But, these dire warnings will go over your neo-cons’ heads, like so many other facts of life. The Neocons constant griping of the world’s "Hatred of America" I translate as "I’m scared of the world and what it might do to me". Be a man, and get your head out of the sand and deal with the world as a man, not as a blind fool, before its too late.
