Maybe they'll make it a weekly show: Who Wants To Be A Million Air Particles?

Ahaaaaaaaaa! Mark, stop! You're killin me! ROFL.

Damn Dighton, Steyn is right on the money.

Excellent post. Right on, and powerfully so. The European conscience, or lack of one, is again on display to the world. Their complicity in the appeasements of the century, were largely responsible for many of the 20th century's conflagrations. Again, appeasement is way ahead of doing what is right, in Europe, and unfortunately, this week, GW jumped on the appeasement bandwagon.

The Death of the West and all it stands for in Europe. A truly sad story...

From Washington's point of view, the peace mission was necessary because of a scheduling conflict over scheduling conflicts: they'd booked the Middle East for a war with Iraq only to discover the joint being used for some other guys' war. In an ideal world, the US would like to restore peace in the Middle East in order to launch a massive conflagration there.

Best part of the whole superb article.

Kind of strange when you put it like that. This comment is a rebuke to those in the US who at times criticize Israel for not 'pulling out' (I suppose Powell and Bush even) because those same people are planning a much larger war having much less direct provication.

As always ... right on the mark!

Of the 30 ongoing conflicts in the world today, the Muslims are involved in 28 of them. There are no Jews in Kashmir or the Sudan, so the Muslims make do with Hindus and Christians.

Gee, maybe there's a link here. Great article. Someone should roll copies of it up and keep it handy to stick up the backside of some of our more spineless "allies". liberals.

Mark Steyn sees it and calls it.

Well said.

[Jewels1091]

quite an article. Europe has always been cowardly...and I guess some things never change. I have lost ALL respect for Europe and hope that they reap what they have sown. They deserve it.

Good one Mark. Maybe Iran too, acting via Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon. Barrages of rockets into Israel and shallow threats of embargo gave a nice little rise to oil prices.

Eurobump.
