... if you can pick only one place to be out of step with, Europes an excellent choice.

Was Mussolini a European? Was Hitler a European?I thought so. Europeans don't change much over time... do they?

Satisfying read. I don't know if I can agree with all of Steyn's assertions, however.
For example, I do think the current tilt to the right in much of Europe is legitimately self defensive.

Get me Steyn's phone number, the freaking plaigerist ;-)
As crime has dropped in the United States in recent years, it has worsened in much of Europe, despite generous welfare states designed to prevent US-style inequality and social conflict. Despite? Try because of
That's my line!As crime has dropped in the United States in recent years, it has worsened in much of Europe, despite because of generous welfare states designed to prevent U.S.-style inequality and social conflict.

Thats the trade-off: a slightly increased risk of gun death in exchange for a dramatically reduced rate in everything else hot burglaries, street crime, sexual assault, fatal stabbings. Back in the mid-90s, I was told of an FBI crime report that stated that if you only count crimes committed by white Americans, the US crime rate would be lower than any European country...Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, the lot. The report was supposedly killed by the Clinton Administration for obvious polital reasons. Has anyone ever seen the report?

"
Perhaps you'd like to protest this rising tide of anti-Semitism by, say, wearing skullcaps in solidarity with your Jewish brothers? Don't all raise your hands at once." I love Steyn when he just drips venomous sarcasm on his target. This is the best.

Of course, the "Eurodefiles" will never read this piece. They have him on their Index.

This has got to be one of his very best. Homour, mixed with biting sarcasm, and, most of all, common sense. Lets draft this guy into the Bush cabinet, somehow..

bump for future reference. Great article. It never ceases to amaze me how gratifying it is to read the truth.
To: billorites
. It takes some considerable skill to wind up, as Europe has, with every indicator going haywire: total gun control plus rapidly increasing gun violence plus stratospheric property crime. BUMP!

Just a shockingly intelligent article. I thought In the land of the bland, the one-eyed man is king was a typo, until I 'got' the earlier reference to Caliban.
