Where the hell did Mr. Bormann mention the nationality of ANYBODY!
He only talks about PEOPLE; and that could be, fundamentally, what
the "european" protests are all about. That fundamental law that states
killing people is a no-no -- sorry to simplify that cosmic rule, but maybe
that is the only way some people will understand it.

There are always alternatives.

I personally feel disgusted at the above statement. I hope I don't
need to explain why. As for some of the other "dark side" of American
postings, we need look no further than mushroom cloud sign-offs and
accusations of nazism levelled at Mr. Bormann, whose innocent
statement leads off this posting; maybe you should READ it this time.

Besides, the USA had to save Europe; they need somewhere to fight WW III.

Signing off from Airstrip One ...
