"Neville again" would be a better slogan

Gotta love The Steyn!

Absolutely brilliant writing. Once again, Steyn says it better than anyone else I had read or seen on the tube.

i>And for a while, on my drive down to town, I'd pass Junior in the yard playing with his shield, mastering the art of cowering more effectively against unseen blows.

Now THAT'S funny!

They're travelling light on the bridle-paths of Europe - the small cells that operate in the nooks and crannies of a free society, while politicians cling to the beaten tracks - old ideas, multicultural pieties and a general hope that things will turn out for the best.

Yep! Sounds like John Kerry's "Global Test."

The sooner the Potemkin Church of England is sold for scrap the better....there are mosques in the English Midlands, but no Christian churches in Saudi Arabia. Its official tourism commission lists among prohibited categories of visitor "Jewish persons".

The British left and center will never ken the Islamic invasion until St. Paul's and Canterbury Cathedral are mosques.

...That's how the "peace" crowd thinks the West should fight terrorism: eschew the sword, but keep the shield..."

Unless the shield is a missile defense system -- especially if it's put in place by George Bush.

"Never again" has evolved to mean precisely the kind of passivity that enabled the Holocaust first time round. "Neville again" would be a better slogan.

...appeasement is even less effective when the faraway country of which you know little is your own

My gosh, does this man know how to turn a phrase, or what?

Steyn is the greatest editorial writer on the scene today, maybe ever!

That should be Frisian rather than Fresian. The Frisian language (spoken mainly in parts of the Netherlands) is said to be the closest linguistic relative of English.

Erskine Childers (1870-1922) was an Irish patriot executed by the Irish Free State authorities; his son with the same name was later President of Ireland. Childers' novel The Riddle of the Sands is available online: www.rtpnet.org/robroy/books/rec/rs.html
