 Europe lacks moral fibre, says US hawk Europe lacks moral fibre, says US hawk Richard Perle, a leading Pentagon adviser on Iraq, last night launched an extraordinary tirade against Europe which he accused of losing its moral direction and providing succour to Saddam Hussein. "I think Europe has lost its moral compass. Many Europeans have become so obsessed by the prospect of violence they have failed to notice who we are dealing with," he said in an interview with the Guardian. Mr Perle expressed serious reservations about the United Nations chief weapons inspector, Hans Blix, and the ability of his team to disarm Iraq. But he reserved his most scathing comments for Germany and Chancellor Gerhard Schröder's new anti-war stance. "Germany has subsided into a moral numbing pacifism. For the German chancellor to say he will have nothing to do with action against Saddam Hussein, even if approved by the United Nations, is unilateralism," Mr Perle said. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2lack morality, period. Hope EU gets enough backbone to stare down this chicken hawk.

if the potential targets and sympathetic islamic states to Iraq and / or Al Qaeda, the majority are EU states. Ireland herself is within range of THORP.
The USA mainland doesn´t have many soft targets oddly enough.
