Close Enough to Evil for Government Work

Europe put on a big official sad face for the killing of an Iranian nuclear weapons scientist.

To be fair, "Europe" needs someone to finish the job they started in World War II:

Ever wonder why so many Americans share President Trump’s skepticism of Europe? Look no further than its reaction to the assassination of the mastermind of Iran’s atomic-bomb project. Moshen Fakhrizadeh was a leader of Iran’s effort to obtain an atomic bomb to use on the country in which the survivors of the Holocaust found redemption. Yet the Europeans rushed out a statement calling the attack a “criminal act.”

Plus, too, the EU, in a statement from its High Representative, Josep Borrell, extended condolences to the bomb maker’s family. We don’t dismiss the cruelty of war. Yet the European Union expresses not a syllable of appreciation for the possibility that the attack might yet buy time and safety for Israel (and Europe). Nor did it acknowledge the early warnings from Jerusalem about what Fakhrizadeh was up to.

Europe sides with the people who want to nuke lots of Jews over the people who would be nuked.

Don't confuse political Europe--which is awful--with geographic Europe--which still has friends of the West.

Political Europe--the European Union--is no friend of America, the West, or democracy and personal freedom.
