The World Gave Us Four Days

Not including the British, of course, who have, for the most part, been staunch allies. The rest of the world gave us four days of support following the al Qaeda terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. It was a dead heat between the French and the Russians over who would squirt in their pants first.

This story from the September 15, 2001 issue of the Guardian documents the cowardice (and, as we learned later, the Europeans and Russians were motivated by venality as well) and how Tony Blair immediately rose to meet the historic challenge:

Tony Blair is unequivocal that Britain should participate fully in the expected US military action. He told a packed Commons, recalled to emergency session yesterday: "Murder of British people in New York is no different in nature from their murder in the heart of Britain itself. In the most direct sense, therefore, we have not just an interest, but an obligation to bring those responsible to account."
But France signalled that it would not automatically support military action. "Our humane, political and functional solidarity [with the US] does not deprive us of our sovereignty and freedom to make up our own minds," the French prime minister, Lionel Jospin, maintained. [spoken like a true, mincing nancyboy. Enjoy your Islamist riots while Paris burns, pussies.-Bluto]
Russia, which initially offered enthusiastic support, was adamant that it would not participate in any "revenge'' attacks. The Russian defence minister, Sergei Ivanov, said there was no chance of the US being allowed to launch attacks from the former Soviet republic. [The Russians found out what was what when Islamists butchered their children in Beslan three years later.-Bluto]
One of the reasons that several European foreign ministries are growing anxious is that the possibility is gaining credibility of a second Gulf war against Iraq to finish off the job begun in 1991 by toppling the Iraqi president, Saddam Hussein.

Of course, the UN oil for food scandal explained all too clearly why these greedy bastards were "growing anxious."

Anyway, I just thought you might like to be reminded that "Nous Sommes Tous les AmÃ©ricains" (We Are All Americans) lasted exactly four days.

1 Remember, the BBC fired its first shot two days later with that "Question Time" broadcast.

2 No, it didn't.

I'd have to dig it up at NRO, but underneath the "We Are All Americans" headline was a healthy anti-American article.

So it was more like 4 minutes concerning the Fwench.

I'll see if I can find it and post the link in the Sandcrawler.

3 Dang it! Vinnie already said what I was gonna say. The French were blaming America for 9/11 from day 1.

4 I'm pretty sure the Czechs were staunch from the getgo, and I know they are now.

5 Liberals gave us about 5 days.

6 More like two minutes.

7 At least Poland and England know what's up. I love the Russian quote about 'revenge' attacks. Ummm like... Beslan? How many years has Russia been bombing Chechen separatists because of 'terrorism'. This is a very good article and point that needs to be made about the so-called allies we have 'lost' because of Iraq.

8 With allies like that who needs enemies?

9 The world gave us four days because that's about how long we were knocked on our butts. The world likes us only when we are weak. After we stood up and brushed ourselves off they started hating us again.

That's the only problem with being the world's most powerful, prosperous and free nation in human history. Everybody resents you when you are on top. I can now symapthize with Yankee fans.

10 I kind of blew up the other day on another matter, but this sort of thing was at the heart of my anger. I was ranting a bit about the European anti-americanism. I mentioned Neville Chamberlain in a disparraging tone. Before I knew it I had pissed of some Guy named Joe Public, who it turned out was from the UK.

It seems to me based on that experience, that even our friends think we need to be brought back into line, and get some humility.

I don't agree, but still ...

12 Michael Weaver - no-one who has any interest in not wearing a kufi wants a humble America. It would be nice, though, if you avoided pissing all over the Brits. We ain't a perfect nation, by any stretch of the imagination - but as far as I can tell, we've backed you all the way. We have problems with how we deal with things, but they're domestic; British foreign policy has been quite firm.

I've just been letting everything wash over me. I just don't have much to say right now, but what can I say? I can't be bothered with anything these days. Such is life. I haven't been up to much lately.
I've just been hanging out doing nothing. I've basically been doing nothing worth mentioning. Shrug. Pretty much not much exciting happening today. Today was a complete loss.

27 My mind is like a complete blank, but so it goes. Basically nothing seems important, but I guess it doesn't bother me. I've just been letting everything wash over me , but pfft. I haven't been up to anything. Such is life. I can't be bothered with anything.
