legitimate reason by the EU, for instance.
How would we like it when leaders of the EU would say:
"We're fighting 'them' over there in the USA so we don't have to fight them here in the EU."
The "fight them over there" argument is the stuff of which "The Ugly American" image was originally constructed many years ago.
There is such arrogance and insensitivity inherent in the idea.
ie The rest of the world is ours to use at will...
