[QUOTE="ski, post: 4556096, member: 2207"] Walt, I would accept and endorse those sentiments as they are made through the lens of history and if you accept the lens of history, we have never been willing Europeans. So why can't we try to be good neighbours instead? You cannot understand a country without understanding its culture, and culture is to a country as character is to a person. There are national characteristics and I believe historical gravity is returning to countries all over Europe and further afield. As an anecdote to support this I vividly remember attending a meeting run by Daltons somewhere in Dorset in the very late eighties. The keynote speaker was a high ranking USDA official. He gave a prophetic address about China and said ( I Paraphrase ) "Culturally and historically , China is not a communist country, it is a country with lots of human capital, and when its historic gravity returns it will turn into power house that will be feared by the rest of the world" [/QUOTE]
