It's terrifying how far European "leaders" are willing to go to suck up to the US Government.

Oh, our governments here in Portugal never needed much to suck up to everyone else. The US, Britain, Germany, Angola, Gaddafi's Libya, you name it - they say jump, we ask "how high?"

During the Azores summit, while Bush, Blair and Aznar discussed the Iraq invasion, our PM (Barroso - yeah, the guy from the EU) was more than happy to be their busboy and serve drinks while the Great Leaders talked.

Remind me of some classic RATM Bullet In The Head lyrics:

Just victims of the in-house drive-by They say jump, you say how high Just victims of the in-house drive-by They say jump, you say how high...
