i dont know what Belgium was thinking, but I have a pretty good idea about France and Germany.

when the trade towers were destroyed, it was the first time in recorded history that article 5 of the NATO charter was invoked. just about every allied nation had troops, ships, tanks, and planes ready to send to war. The US slapped them in the face, took the UK, Spain, and Canada, and told France and Germany to piss off. Thanks, but no thanks.

now they are getting us back. oh, the US is too good for our military alliance? guess what? we dont need to play with you either. thats what they're telling us. and they have every right to. the Alliance is falling appart. It was obvious from the first time the media started talking about "coallition forces." what the hell is that? our own private military alliance, outside of NATO? great...

now, not only do we have a "coallition," but there is talk of a european "federation." what the heck? no more Allies? couldn't find a good enough Axis power? have to make up new names for the new sides? wherever this **** is going, the people in charge have already made up their minds about it, and we are just along for the ride. you can see it in the news, as they feed us a little bit more bull**** every so often, just to get us ready for whatever they are going to do.

There IS going to be a war. NATO is NOT going to play along. we are starting our own team, and the other side is still sorting out what it is going to be about. The Arabs are going to be in the middle of it, but its not really going to be about them. both sides are picking members like schook kids getting ready for a ballgame. The world is changing, again.
