What?  Fear!..

Bull bisquits.  The closer the danger, the harder we fight.  Don't you dare
to say that the leaders of Europe could be paralyzed from action by fear.  
My guess is that if they were not so polite the would barbecue and chew him 
up into little pieces before breakfast and spit him out into the Med.

We have a saying here: "When things get tough, the tough get going."  This
means that the more difficult and dangerous something is the more it goads
the strong and courageous to go into action to counter the threat. 

You and each and every one of us will die of one thing or another, so NEVER,
NEVER, NEVER be numbed by a fear of death.  Chances for survival go up if
your leaders stand together against this scum bag.  Can you imagine battles 
in WWII adding up to the death of 6 or 10 or 40 million from actual 
combat.  But... those are the numbers of people that were murdered because 
of "scaredy cats" and people that looked the other way and didn't take a 
"nut" seriously.  The 40 million was told to me by someone who thought that
Stalin changed the population profile in Russian to suit his needs.  Even 
so, shooting conventional wars are not nearly as lethal as as one "nut" 
(crazy person) with a set of ropes or factory of ovens and backed by a mob.

Stand up and be brave about your country.  It is very good as a conven-
tional military defense power and I think could do very well in defending 
itself with your support.  I hope you reconsider your initial "shock of 
the moment" and take courage, Uwe.
