Why Europeans secretly love America

This is what comes of being the world's policeman. If other nations would pull their share, we could sit back and enjoy the good life like the Europeans do. Have you gone quite mad, Edward? We Europeans enjoy the good life that General George Marshall, blessed be the memory of his Plan, promised us *precisely* because the US taxpayers funds the major defense expenditure of NATO, for which we would otherwise have to reach even deeper into our own pockets. Our politicians can *afford* to disdain the US, and spray moralistic little homilies over its President like spittle from a ticket tout's mouth, precisely because we live in the umbrella of its security. Why, idiots who'd be shot in the back by their own comrades if we had to maintain decent armies can earn a good living sneering from the stages of clubs and halls at the homely virtues of President Reagan, who removed the nuclear Damocle's Sword from over our heads by splashing out liberally of your money on the poker game of SDI. Of course, Americans do have certain advantages. They can still buy a large 1970s car and fit a small block Chevy engine to it, while the biggest selling car in Europe is the Fiat Punto, a stylish but gutless little thing that runs 50 miles on a rubber band. And why, in the States even a black man can carry arms on his bicycle, as we heard the other day, while a European who merely wants to keep a shotgun for shooting loud crows in his backyard must go beg some poncey magistrate for a license, which will no doubt be refused. I beg you, my dear friend, don't disturb a status quo with so many advantages all round. Now get off your fat arse and go do something useful so we can criticize you for it, and demand that you do it better while at the same time denying you the means to do it at all. Another little war would be good. Andre Jute I'm not joking |
