You forget Europe failure in dealing with the Balkans. It wasn't Europe the Arabs turned to and asked for help during the First Gulf War. It is Europe and people who think like them who insist that it is the US' job to deal with North Korea...not China's, not Japan's, not Russia's,..but the US. /BAH
