The Indo-Europeans are themselves rootless "invaders" in Europe (came 5000-3000 yrs ago) and therefore these later events are just continuation to their history. By the way, we Finns are not Indo-Europeans but original Europeans and we have not participated to those wrong-doings in our past.
No, you havent. What are you people not understanding about this? How many European nations were in the Coaltion? How many European nations have foreign interests in poor countries, the same as we do? How many European nations are benefiting off bloodshed in Africa? How many are on Bush's coatails?

You appear to have learned and changed---by criticizing America. What the hell do you think the E.U. is going to do when it actually has some power? Just use it to fight for justice around the world like Superman? Please. If you believe that, then you probally believe that the U.S. was truly a perfect nation before the end of WWII.

You know the difference between the EU and the US? Europe actually really believes in international rules, in contrast to the US. You are free to call this naive, but its pretty much true.

And its also pretty easy to explain why, because the Europe of today would collapse if the international rules and laws holding it together would be handled by the European countries like the US likes to handle it.

The US still believes only in the rules that always existed. The right of the stronger and to give a "§$% on international laws if they are not oppertune.
