Article five scares me. Just because my grandparents generation considered the Americans more important in the defeat of the Germans, something they couldn't have done without the other option, the russians, nowadays if some weird president in your country says its war, I am supposingly in war as well.
I think I'm well read, I enjoy knowing a lot of things from everywhere. Similarily I can return the compliment. Even though we seem to disagree most of the time, we are still talking in a civilised way. It confirms that I have to be carefull with my prejudice, not all Americans are ignorant. LJ proves that quite often I have to say, then again, during the heat of the discussions a week-weekandahalf ago some people seemed to have lost all sense of reality.
The death penalty is a different discussion, true, but not entirely unrelated. Only today I read that most Europeans will refuse extradiction to the States, as long as the death penalty is a risk. However extreme, I can understand some extremists who say that they too have used the death penalty: flying some planes into the WTC.
