 RB> The EU is such a "weak-wristed Willie" that it wouldn't "dare" treat

   Not the EU in general, Robert, only the part of EU that is also a member of
NATO. Sweden for instance has never given in to any pressure from the US, such
as a decade of chilled relationship after we refused to extradite the US kids
that came here because they didn't want to murder innocent people in Vietnam.

   Hmmmm... Come to think of it, I doubt that our present government would have
the balls that the past ones had. We've recently discovered one disturbing
incident where a small private jet, obviously registered to some US government
agency, was allowed to come here and pick up a refugee from Egypt, that
allegedly was on the US terrorist list. The guy seems to have eventually ended
up tortured to death in an Egyptian prison... :(
