Re: Kindly allow me to rant.
...I see where your viewpoint is coming from. However, at this point the EU is simply a joint economic agreement, if a situation over a cartoonist offends the muslim world, and its targeting Denmark, economically speaking it would best for a country to distance itself as much as possible from the situation. It's still fairly self evident that European Countries do not feel much brotherly love towards each other, which is a shame. But Countries like Germany and France are mostly concerned about how many Euro's they can make a profit with, via tourism and trade, and it looks like the muslim world is a much larger cashcow to them than Denmark. Pacifistic Capitalism in European Politics, you don't say?
And you give America a hard time about being greedy.:laugh4:
Re: Kindly allow me to rant.
Then they shouldn't pretend to be anything else. God all the propaganda for their precious constitutions, peace, solidarity, cooperation, yeah right. Just an additional useless government that slows down our allready useless national government, which in turn slows down the allready useless provincal governemnt, which in turn slows down my useless local government that has been slowing me down for months when I wanted to build an extra room out of my balcony.

Re: Kindly allow me to rant.
I was always under the impression a lack of cooperation between national policies and newspaper content is how things are supposed to be.
