Walter,

Okay, maybe you mean Tired of fighting?

>Europe has fought so many wars and lost so many human lifes and the past centuries, that it is tired to fight. It mainly uses diplomacy to solve conflicts and tries to unite nations (birth of EU) before conflicts can occur.

>Whether this is always the best choice is something I cannot judge, but I'm not a big supporter of the agressive and easy way that the US is reaching to take up the arms either.

>>PMFJI, but could you explain your statement: Europe is tired to fight.
>>
>>It does not make sense to me. Too tired to fight, makes sense to me, but yours does not. I understand that English is not your first langauge. It is not mine either, American is mine :-) And I would like to understand what you are trying to say here.

>>Thanks.

>>>>>Harsh maybe, but to me a reasonable explanation. This is not that I accuse the US not seeing this, but rather that europe has suffered tremendously through the centuries by vast patern of devistating wars: Europe is tired to fight.

>>>>Being "too tired to fight" is not a good thing.
>>>
>>>tired to fight, not too tired.
>>>
>>>>> IOW, we have learned our lesson.
>>>>
>>>>And what lesson is that?
>>>
>>>War can cost millions of lives. It is worth exploring other means of solving and preventing our differences. IOW, the birth of the EU.
