Nearly every single right and liberty that exists in these countries is the direct
result of intervention by the USA in the years following WWII. And the liberties
now being pursued by Eastern Europe are predicated and modeled up on those
of the US.
The vast majority of politicians in Europe and Japans are socialist and statist
who believe that people are given rights as a privilege by the state. Instead of
the state being a creature of the very people as individuals.
The ownership of major sectors of the economy by the state is part and
parcel of the socialist statist mentality and thus people are kept that much poorer
for it. It is this statist belief that allowed Europe to blithely sit by and watch the
government of Serbia to slaughter thousands and destroy Sarajevo and bring
unending grief to the Yugoslavs, because the statist politicians believed
A) that the state, as representative of the culture and the people, had the right to
do so;
B) the individuals were merely pawns of the state, expendable for the greater
cultural good and the continued existence of the state over the people;
C) the racism, ethnicism of Serbians is not in fact very much different then that of
the rest of Europe;
A continent where killing and repression because of religion and ethnicity
and race is still widely practiced, however muted because of the pressure
brought by the United States and the presence of our military, hardly has the
right to lecture the United States on Freedom and Prosperity for all the peoples
of the world
