An American reader sent me the following message:

"It is difficult at times to feel sorry for Europe as we have watched
the majority of the population slouch off to a peculiar model of
socialism.

A model that is seemingly strange to even European socialists. This
model of utopia, that is so attractive to the European elite, has done
everything from helping breed Islamic terrorism in its early days to
taking away such cultural uniqueness as the British pint. It is hard
not to say we told you so but you sleep in the bed you make.

Good luck."

If this is the level of grammar I think I will not read any further.

And yet it was the US Twin Towers which got hit by terrorists.
Go figure.

an resolution to that effect.

I met one of those too - soft-spoken, as well - and then found out he had lived +20 years
in England.

When Americans talk about democracy,
what they mean is that they want to force the rest of the world to
accept greedy, evtreme right wing Capitalism so that they can control the
whole world
