If Iraq were to descend into chaos, the Europeans would feel the effects just as much as we would.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Europeans are familiar with terrorism and violence. We have not experienced a true conflict on our soil in a hundred years, and especially not one that involved 3,000 dead.
Daesh is the enemy of Europe, and Europe cannot live with the idea that the crises that surround it don't have an effect on it.
Two European nations emerged with credit from the Iraq disaster: France and Germany. Both had the courage to withstand the Bush administration and oppose the U.S.-led invasion.
Many Europeans are concerned that stronger sanctions are a slippery slope toward war unless the U.S. is at the table.
The U.S. presence and American missteps made ethnic violence in Iraq far worse than it would have been otherwise after Saddam Saddam Hussein's fall.
If Europe does not return to the path of common sense, it will find itself laid low in a battle for its fate.
I would like to tell our American, British and Spanish friends that the Iraqi crisis is not a problem between the United States and France, but between those who want to move forward in the logic of war and the international community.
The European nations' loss of sovereignty to the EU should be a warning to Americans.
As politicians we have to react to the fact that many people do not feel that they can relate to the EU.
We would like to preserve Europe for Europeans.
