Great article!
The bottom line is "War is not nice"
Europeans have realized that after WWII, it took Vietnam to show it to Americans.
It's a common opinion here in Europe that Americans are always so gung-ho about going to war because they have not faced the destruction 20th century warfare is able to deliver to your personal home.
French, Germans, English, Polish, Italians, Russians and an endless list of other European people have experienced the destruction of their home-country in WWII. This makes you think about going to war again. Even if it be somewhere else.
So the lack of support for war (wherever it may be) in Europe may in fact be because of cowardice. But it is a cowardice I admire.
