An Apology to Our Ungrateful Fair-weather Friends in Europe

There has been somewhat of an uproar over President Obama's apology to our dear friends in Europe for, in his words our "attempts to dominate" the world.

In the spirit of bi-partisanship, I too wish to apologize to Europe for all of America's actions. Here is my sincere letter of apology.

Dear Europe,

I apologize. Over the past ninety years or so, Americans have repeatedly attempted to interfere with what should have been solely European internal events.

I apologize for the two times in thirty years (between 1917 and 1945) that Americans sacrificed their lives and treasure to save your bacon from the loving ministries of German adventurism.

I apologize for the many sailors in our Merchant Marine Service who sacrificed their lives shipping arms, food and necessities to Britain. I apologize for the fact that so many were murdered by German U-Boats while attempting to provide Britons those items necessary for life.

I apologize for the millions of American "doughboys" who marched into France and fought in the trenches against the Kaiser's Army. I apologize for the 117,000 Americans who died fighting for your freedom.

I apologize for the millions of "GI's" we sent to Europe in 1941. I'm sorry that we sent tens of thousands of tanks, trucks, and jeeps we sent to provide transportation to enable British troops to engage the Nazi war machine.

I apologize for all the Americans who voluntarily donated their personal firearms to be sent to the British Home Guard so that they could defend their shores, only to be unceremoniously dumped into the ocean at the end of the war (rather than the British government making any attempt to see that they were returned to those generous Americans).

I apologize for the endless convoys sent from our shores filled with food and clothes and medical supplies and guns and tanks and trucks and planes and machinery parts and petroleum and pretty much everything else needed to keep Britain free and to free France, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Holland, Italy and Germany from the yoke of Nazi "enlightenment."

I apologize for the Billions of dollars Americans sent to Europe under the Marshall Plan (most of which you generously never repaid) to rebuild your war torn nations.

I apologize for the presence of our troops in your continent over 40 years and the many Billions of dollars they spent supporting your economies as they protected you from the efforts of the Soviet Union to expand its power into Western Europe.

I apologize for NATO, for disproportionately supporting the United Nations while generally being the target of a constant barrage of hatred and criticism, and for the Berlin Airlift.

I apologize for being the largest market for most of your exports over the past century.

Now that we have a President of which you approve, perhaps we too can have an ineffectual, emasculated military incapable of providing any support should you need it.

Perhaps now America can take its "rightful" place as just another European-style failed socialist state enjoying double digit unemployment, massive debt, rationed healthcare, and low productivity.

Next time, don't call us; deal with your problems yourselves.

Sincerely,

Will Malven

President Obama, keep you apologies to yourself. I neither want nor need you to apologize for my nation. You and your fellow travelers who hate America do not speak for me or, I suspect, a majority of Americans.

I am not interested in kowtowing to a bunch of ungrateful, decadent, failed socialist states which are filled with whining, spoiled, lazy citizens who still believe in the myth that diplomacy can solve any problem as they repeatedly fail even to unify behind their own feckless EU government.

How dare you travel overseas apologizing for my nation and for our former President?

America has sacrificed more, given more, and worked harder for the freedom and wellbeing of other nations than any country in history, all the while asking for nothing more than a modicum of respect and gratitude.


Keep your apologies to yourself.

Long Live Our American Republic!!!!
