I could Kausfile bigtime about the NATO rift if I knew how, but it comes down to this: Western Europe has forgotten WWII. Meantime our newly ardent allies in Eastern Europe have not forgotten that we helped, however imperfectly (and in Dwight Eisenhower's case, indifferently), rid it of Communism. That the French are the perfect ingrates, and that Germans are tired of the Holocaust and must take it out on someone, goes without saying. That the United States of Europe are the world haven of welfare cannot be good for the self-esteem either.
