Steyn gets it right again

[mathluv]

This can't be said too loud or too much. Many Americans are awake. Let's wake the rest.

BTTT and bookmarked.

Absolutely.

Now if the Dems would get it.

>>... the Israelis are the canaries in the coal mine

Remarkably insightful.

Great article. It was, however, published earlier in the week under a different title, and thereby posted on FR a couple of times. See here and here for previous discussion.

No criticism intended, Tom. No way you could have known if you hadn't seen the earlier ones.

Steyn has developed an excellent analysis and summary of the current state of American relations with its former friends and allies.

While I have observed the deteriorization of relations with our former allies, I had not had the opportunity to take a 30,000 foot view of it as Steyn has. IMO, his anaysis is dead on.

[Stultis]

This is watered-down Steyn! (Self-censored? Say it ain't so, Mark!)

For the full Marky, complete with cockroaches, see the previously posted version:

Mark Steyn: Europeans are worse than cockroaches ^

The Canadian transport minister, David Collenette, responded by suggesting that the Israeli airline’s service to Pearson International Airport might be ended

Excellent analysis from Steyn, it's a very serious tone that he doesn't often take.

"Item 1: In the last two weeks, two Toronto-bound El Al flights had to be diverted to other airports after credible terrorist threats were made about using surface-to-air missiles against them. The Canadian transport minister, David Collenette, responded by suggesting that the Israeli airline's service to Pearson International Airport might be ended."

This so reminds me of the movie 13 Days where the trade of weapons in Turkey for weapons in Cuba is propposed. At what point are these people going to realize that a siege of the west not seen since Vienna is underway? Not anytime soon I fear. Collenette could very well be a 21st century Quisling, but unlike Quisling I don't think the Canadians have the good sense to dangle Collenette at the end of a rope.

[oilfieldtrash]

I think he is an idiot.

In the war on terror, the United States believes in preemption; Canada, like many other ''allies,'' believes in preemptive surrender. These two strategies are incompatible

yep.

A few days ago I asked for some help with Steyn's demographic data on Arabs in Europe.

I frequent a European forum, and posted a link to Steyn'scockroach article.
A dutch fellow thought Steyn must have dreamed up his figures, and strongly disputed that Arabs would be that much of a factor in Netherlands OR Germany.
Any thoughts from some of you experts?
