More Hypocrisy Out of Europe

After the death of Milosevic and the recent suicide of Milan Babic, both in European prisons, one has to wonder what Europeans are doing to their inmates. It's about time the world knew. First, how do we know that these deaths are suicides? Maybe there was torture involved. Either physical or some crazy definition of psychological. Maybe Europeans just routinely kill their prisoners. What's needed is a full investigation.

Of course, I'm being a little saracastic. But there still hasn't been ONE death of any inmate at Guantanamo, and look at all the hysteria built up by the sensitive Euros.

As Victor David Hansen points out, this obviously is not the first incidence of Euro hypocrisy. Euros criticize the lengthy circus-like trial of Saddam, yet Milsovic, after four years of trials, still had no verdict. He died an innocent man in jail, probably poisoned. Any outrage from Euroland?

I also seem to remember Chirac saying recently that it was France's right to nuke any terrorist. Now if GW had said anything remotely close to this, what would have been the Euro-response?

I don't really care and I'm not alone. After all, who cares what they think? - it's only Europe. The average American is quickly losing respect for Europe for all the obvious reasons. Meanwhile, others in the world, whether Russian, Chinese, Iranian, or Muslim terrorist, never had any respect for Europe and if they have any feeling for them at all, it's one of contempt. Unfortunately, I don't see this changing, as long Europeans do not realize who their real friends are.

In the meantime, I'll patiently wait for the one-sided documentary which fully investigates the potential "unilateral terror and murder" which is occurring in European prisons.
