An exerpt:
“In that regard, historian and scholar Professor Victor Davis Hanson recently wrote:
"Western Europe has almost gone the way of Weimar. Amoral, disarmed, and socialist, it seeks ephemeral peace at all costs, never long-term security, and much less justice. Furious that history has not ended in perpetual peace and leisure, it has woken up angry that Mr. Bush and Mr. Blair disturbed its fanciful slumber with chatter about germs and genocide. ... As in the past we see ideals in the militarily weak but spiritually strong leaders of Eastern Europe, as the Czechs and Poles once more reveal themselves to be far more moral men and women than any in Germany and France – the historic duet that so often either started or lost wars."
So it is America that considers going to war, on its own, with few allies. In that context we must realize that the Old Country nations of Europe and tired elites on both sides of the Atlantic have lost faith with themselves and with what is best about Western civilization. Their antipathy toward their own societies and systems blinds them to reality. As in the past, they prefer surrender or accommodation with evil than confronting it or ending it.”
