US gets R-E-S-P-E-C-T from Europe
Following sharp jabs at American policy including the President being asked whether the United States was, "regarded as the biggest threat to global security," The Austrian Chancellor rose and gave his opinion: "I think it's grotesque to say that America is a threat to the peace in the world compared with North Korea, Iran, a lot of countries," Schuessel said. Europe would not enjoy peace and prosperity if not for U.S. help after World War II, he said.He continued with a nod to our common values that should motivate our global actions including democracy, rule of law, and individual rights.
"We should be fair from the other side of the Atlantic," Schuessel said. "We should understand what September 11th meant to the American people."
In a time when the US is ridiculed out of jealousy and envy, it's nice that someone has our back.
