Unfortunately, al-Qaeda may not be the only challenge liberalism faces today, or even the greatest.",,,<br /><br />In 2003, Kagan's book, Of Paradise and Power: America and Europe in the New World Order, published on the eve of the US invasion of Iraq, created something of a sensation through its assertions that Europeans tended to favor peaceful resolutions of international disputes while the United States takes a more "Hobbesian" view in which some kinds of disagreement can only be settled by force, or, as he put it: "Americans are from Mars and Europe is from Venus."</i><br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Nuland" rel="nofollow">Nuland</a> was the US person on the ground involved in Ukraine, thanks to HRC at State. A leaked conversation between her and U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt. It was in this conversation that she famously, or infamously, said, "Fuck the EU," and Pyatt responded, "Exactly." <br /><br /><a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957" rel="nofollow">BBC News — Ukraine crisis: Transcript of leaked Nuland-Pyatt call</a>Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-82682117667278423842014-11-24T10:11:38.460-05:002014-11-24T10:11:38.460-05:00On behalf of Canadians, I apologize for the action...On behalf of Canadians, I apologize for the actions of Stephen Harper.Peter Panhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473311771939167712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-26994788837750402012014-11-24T07:27:15.414-05:002014-11-24T07:27:15.414-05:00Tom I follow "Mr Neocon' Bill Kristol'...Tom I follow "Mr Neocon' Bill Kristol's Twitter since he started and he has never tweeted about Ukraine iirc. ...<br /><br />He does tweet about Israel all the time though (supportive)....<br /><br />So I dont see a "neocon" connection to Ukraine. .. seems like they are not interested. .. if . We define the neocons faction as being represented by Kristol. <br /><br />I think this Ukraine thing is being driven by a different faction coming at it from the US political left.<br /><br />It is an anti-Jew/anti-Israel faction of the left. <br /><br />RspMatt Frankohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978352335097260145noreply@blogger.com
