'Stringing Blair along' is a general quote used by the popular press, NOT my opinion, I personally think that the view is stupid. 'Infringment of civil liberties' is a reference to Camp X-Ray, which again, as a view, I disagree with.
It seems most Europeans feel that Al Qaeda and the other related terrorist groups are solely directed at America. That is a bizarre view to take. Do you think that Spaniards think terrorist groups are solely attacking America? Do you think all the Londoners now fearful of attack, the British as a whole, the Japanese, the Australians etc threated by Al Qaeda think it's directed solely at America? Even the French are being threatened, and they objected to Iraq. The new nations from Eastern Europe do gain out of this. Financially for a start, I believe it is to their benefit and detrimental the established countries.

Can't believe how OT I am... Maybe we should discuss this in the EU thread or something - it's quite a complex and interesting argument.

I know it doesn't help if only I object to it, but at least not everyone in Europe think it's acceptable.

OK, thanks for explaining. But now you can't use "everyone" anymore.

I'm confused. Spaniards don't feel they are being targeted becasue they are being targeted because they back the US?
You're saying the other countries aren't fearful of attack because when it comes it's a bombing in England or France or Italy or Australia which targets the USA. Wasn't that the point of the Coalition (which I support) that all the members are in it together? A terrorist attack is an attack primarily on that country and secondly an attack on the free societies of the coalition countries, not an attack primarily on the US and not at all an attack on the country that was bombed.
