When the Euro was weak, europeans blamed the USA, now that it is strong, the same...

Give me a break you moron. Look at you generalizing an entire country's people to suit your viewpoint. How childish and petty. Talk about hypocrisy. No one posted anything derogatory and you decide to start throwing around insults (which seem to describe yourself quite well on a personal level).
Quote from JSSPMK:
Anti-american?!
Don't make me laugh you pompous American, it's YOU who are both arrogant to and ignorant of other nations in this world. Americans are the new fascists in the making. It's you who are spreading your military might across the world pretending that is it there to protect, it does look more like a spider making its web and the only purpose of the web is to entrap, not to protect. A web's main objective is to protect the one in control of it. Trouble with you Americans is that you are extremely gullible and your government always manages to manipulate you twisting your patriotic senses by putting on a spin in front of you and you munch it up with great ability.
Understand how this world really works, abandon your morals and profit from it.
What I did was respond to a very popular statement re: - "flux of anti-American speeches" in Europe. Why the hell would there not be anti-American (referring to Bush administration) sentiment in Europe? What's the last time you looked at the polls? At least Europeans are awakening to the fact that it's not terrorists that pose real threat, but according to the polls it's USA.
When you say europeans i take it you mean politicians and businessmen? If so, isn't that what they are supposed to do when things go awry, point the finger, if they blame themselves then they lose their jobs, that is not exclusive to europe, take a look at U.S companies and politicians. If you were refering to europeans in general then again isn't it a little hypocritical as that is exactly what americans do with China? "weak dollar because china is selling it, or losing jobs to china".
It is true that is an anti american sentiment in europe but it would be foolish to anyone to think it was just jealousy. The US has a very distorted image of itself, maybe it needs to look at itself in a real mirror instead of the one it bought at the circus.
Ok, avoiding politics, the opposite is also true.
America provides a constant-(um, how can a flux be constant? )
thing, of anti european "speech".
Anti african, anti south american, anti sino soviet, anti middle eastern........shit, if people lived in the antarctic they'd probably be anti-tarctic, too.
Maybe the real problem, is american's talk to much
The problem is that we are going back, before the 2nd world war to be more precise.
When germans confronted themselves with crisis, it took one man and one party to throw people into total chaos. That's how nazis came into play. People were told the "root cause of their problem" and they actually believed Hitler. And they all started the jew hunt because the finger pointed at jews.
Since then, everytime conditions were bad, all over the world, the finger was being pointed. To the koreans, to the soviets, to the iraqis, to the venezuelans, to the chinese, to the iranians.
Our own inability and frustration has often led to disaster...

The European Union made a big mistake to admit 15 former East European nations for membership.
What you say is true. European governments attempt to hide their corruption and inability to do reforms by propagandizing against America and creating antiamericanism as an antidote to their disintegrating financial,political and social system. I lived there too long to understand how this works.

Hahaha, really?
Do tell. So the Euro is a hard currency? Oh wait, no it's not. So Europe has a system of competitive free banking? No wait, you have central banks as well. So the Debt/GDP ratio of European nations is superior to USA? No, wait, it's about the same level if not worse.
Not at all, it's a great move. You're just believing the smoke & mirrors stories being told to the masses.
The goal is a European Union with little or no national sovereignty. The larger, the better.
Plus, Russia is making some imperialistic moves, which would upset that whole plan. Might as well grab those ex-Soviet blocs before they become Russian blocs.
