Well, yes, I mean, I'm ethnically Indian and intellectually an American conservative, so I'm doubly sensitized to the awe-inspiring arrogance of Europeans lecturing anyone - particularly Americans - on international morality. I mean, really, just how ignorant of 20th century history do you have to be before that makes you start snickering? As Stanley Hoffmann once said, "The continent that produced both Hitler _and_ Stalin should be a little more humble." I didn't say I'm voting for Bush because of it, but the fact that these people oppose Bush is a point in his favor. It may not be an _important_ point, but it's a point nonetheless. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
