Democracy for the Middle East
December 16, 2004Envy As Culture Redux
Medienkritik has highlights from a recent interview with Aspen Institute director Jeffrey Gedmin.
"Dependency on America during the Cold War has bred terrible European resentment. Americans have underestimated how deep that runs. Yet the imbalance in power between the United States and Europe remains and this breeds even more European frustration and envy. Europe is still lacking in economic growth and dynamism, self-confidence and demography."
Notwithstanding Rome's minnow-swallows-whale victory over Judea, culture envy is hardly culture. Apparently you can't take the church out of the euro-secularists.
