The best lack all conviction while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

The Second Coming
I have invented a new word. I hope it will eventually become a word of a year. A Y2012 perhaps? Fasheism- fascism with good intentions. Sort of the one with a feminine touch (no sexism, here, I'll explain later). Malice out of goodness in heart. Atrocity for your own sake. Death to make you happy and safe. Inquisition. Hypocrisy. Moronic Evil.
What are we going to do with Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, etc? Do you recognize the question? This is the most popular question nowadays in the US. Not in Europe though. Sounds rather strange. Why don't the Europeans debate that on their talkshows? We do, they don't. It is only when some of ours appears they follow the lead. But sometimes they react like that MP George Galloway, the Lion from Glasgow who gave our senators quite a thrashing when he came to talk to them in Congress in the Y2005 (I am not sure about the exact date). I watched the interaction between then senator Norm Coleman and that man and one of them was a man and another was ..a senator from the US. We have a new species here-senators and House people and they are anything but human. The Lion returned to Glasgow to the crowd of supporters and Norm Coleman, the unfortunate, lost his seat to Al Franken. I hope Al stays human.
So why don't the Europeans debate that question? It is because the know that lie cannot lead to the truth. They know that such question was posted out before. It was debated in the Nazi Germany after conquering most of Europe and part of the Soviet Union. It was openly discussed in the Nazi newspapers: what we will do to them now?
Oh no, the German media did not call their troops occupiers. They called them liberators. They said that the noble German soldier brought the New Order, Ordnung, to the barbaric people of the East. They wrote that those Slavs, Greeks or even French who would embrace that new order would eventually become happy in serving the interests of the German Empire. They wrote that as soon as those nations get rid of the bad influence of Jews and other agents of decay they would flourish (up to a certain point, of course) under the gentle but severe ruling from Berlin. They also wrote that the rogue elements of those conquered nations who for some reason would resist the transformation would be labeled partisanen, terrorists, enemy combatants and as such if captured would not have a POW status. Moreover, their families would be severely punished. Not many people know that French officers who joined the Free France or fought against Germany in the Russian air force were risking execution if captured; also many of their relatives in France suffered deadly consequences. Not many people know that ALL Russian civilians who took up arms because of the German atrocities were subject to collective punishment: burning their villages with people in them, summary executions, public hanging even public torture. Of course, it was for the good of those occupied; that's how the new masters were demonstrating their tough love.
