"But the problem is not the Americans and those who command them. It is us Europeans. It is since that day, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, that we should have understood that the United States had become, from forced allies, adversaries if not enemies. We Europeans have no interest in following the United States in its repressive policy towards the Arab-Muslim world, if only because it is on our doorstep and not ten thousand kilometres away. And in the economy, it was the Americans, pursuing the insane dream of mortgaging the future for ages to come, who caused a devastating crisis that they then dumped on Europe, even allowing themselves to blame it for a crisis that started with them and further undermining it with negative forecasts from their rating agencies. For the Americans, we have always been âuseful idiotsâ to be used as they please."
