All kidding aside - the euro countries are no better than the US in these areas. They have different code-names and the agencies are different, but they're all going the same direction.

There's decent Mexican inn Basel. A Mexican and 1/2 Mexican Swiss have a restaurant.

Also there's a Vietnamese restaurant here called "Hong Kong Lounge". The crimes don't end at the US border.

We in the EU like to smugly look at the USA with an air of superiority. But we're not much different — there is a small group that is outraged, and most people simply don't care.

Do you truly believe you'll be able to change anything? Remember, people that reason about these sorts of things are the exception, not the rule. The majority just gobble up whatever "militaristic propaganda" (as one of the siblings called it) is fed to them by the media.

Huh?
