You can say everything about the ‘Old Europe’, but at least they sometimes do the right thing over there. Take this case for example:
A German general got sacked after it became known he praised a German MP who compared the Jews’ actions with Russian pogroms. They take these matters serious in Germany. Now, compare that with the general who angered the US Muslim community by comparing his God with their God. Said Rumsfeld:
“We’re a free people. And that’s the wonderful thing about our country”
Truly an understatement.
