EU as allies in War on Terror
Rep. Ros—Lehtinen makes one fatal error in her otherwise reasoned argument on the European Union's hypocrisy. She concludes that the members of the EU are "our allies in the global war on terror." Unfortunately this is not correct. While a few individual countries are bravely joining us, the EU itself has often undercut us, opting for appeasement to the terrorists. This is certainly not the "principled and resolute" prescription she so correctly recommends.
