Ah, we have a profitable industry going there. Congratulations, Europe.
Apparently appeasing pacifist socialists CAN create jobs... Hey, if we
all hold each other hostage, and we pay each other a million EU in
ranson, would that increase or decrease the value of the EU on currency
markets, and thus make European companies more competetive with the US?

Would you call acts which destroy civil trust an 'anti-trust action'??

Is anti-libertarian europe endorsing the de-monopolized market of
violence in Iraq? 

Would you say that the US military policy of disarming civilians in
Iraq was decreasing or increasing violent crime there?

Would you say that the open immigration policy in effect is improving
or  deteriorating social stability and crime in Iraq?

Would you say that Europe has adopted a policy of being "not in the
business of nation building" when it comes to Iraq?

Oh, I'm just having too much fun with this situation here.... Rand,
Rothbard, and Hayek are quaking in their graves at the ironies...
