Seriously...for someone who harps on about "lack of education" you do display a surprising amount of ignorance my dear Sea Queen.

I think that the European governments spend too little on defense than is actually even in their own interests. The world would be more secure if Europeans made a commitment to even little things like having strategic lift capability or building real aircraft carriers. Interestingly, a lot of the NATO guys I've met agree with me on that point. It isn't about imperialism. It's about maintaining a prosperous, free world.
