Ever hear of the Monroe Doctorine? Euros should pay close attention to
that doctorine, especially in this day and age of power hungry South
Americans.

Sure they do. That's why, after WW2, it was the British and French who
rebuilt most of Europe, all on their own.

The US wasn't the first on the scene, the Brazilians were. Not to mention
that there were already in place, UN forces who wanted everyone to be
under their umbrella. You know that US forces won't submit to orders from
UN forces.

As I said, there were others on the scene before us. That doesn't mean
that they were any better at it, just that they responded quicker.
