The Un-PC News from Europe

Europe NewsIf you want non-Multicultural, non-PC news about Europe, EuropeNews is the place to go.

Full disclosure: I know the people who run this site. Henrik Ræder Clausen is a Dane who writes for EuropeNews in English; I met him at the Brussels conference. Gates of Vienna readers will recognize him as “Henrik” from our comments.

EuropeNews also has a German-language section, news broken down by country, articles written by the editors, and links to major news stories. I noticed an article about Iran, a re-post of Fjordman from Global Politician, and a review of Paul Belien’s book.

Here’s a little tidbit by Henrik:

An American friend of mine said:

Please don’t think worse of Americans because of the recent happenings at LGF.

Not to worry, I ain’t doing that. I find common Americans to be among the most sensible people anywhere. When possible, I try to correct anti-Americanism, which is a bit out of control.

Part of that is to go against specific mistakes made by the US government, which unfortunately count quite a few. A compounding problem is that you don’t have much of an option to get rid of bad governments fast — you always have to wait until the next election.

Enough Bush-bashing for now :)

Possibly the worst mistakes in recent history happened in the Balkans, where we in the west largely ended up supporting the wrong people, backed by massive smears from the press.

EuropeNews is definitely worth a stop if you want to find out what’s happening in the EU (and elsewhere).

Wow, is THAT ever the truth!

Gates of Vienna is to be commended for being one of the few blogs that acknowledge this fact.
