If the “sleeping giant” is hard to wake up, his European pals aren’t sleeping so much as in irreversible comas.

Osama will be along shortly to pull their feeding tubes.

PVLS Persistant Vegetative Liberal State.

Time to pull the plug on the lot of them.

the 9/11 attacks exposed many useful tidbits about the decadence of the West — the worthlessness of the post-modern NATO “alliance” and the active hostility of many of its key members to the United States, the immense deference accorded not just to Islam but to the most radical Islamic groups, especially when it comes to immigration and other aspects of national security.

It also more clearly exposed the lightly camouflaged hatred of their own country by the American left.

It is no joke that they are seriously rooting for Islamic fundamentalists to triumph gloriously over freedom and democracy won under an American flag.

They won’t get their wish.

Another great piece here. An excellent job of distilling a huge issue.

The War on Terror has involved no major mobilization of the population at large.


Ex Act Leeeee!

We should and could have finished these bunch of rpg carrying punks in 4 months with mobilization, instead its turning into years and years. Ridiculous.

Thanks for posting the whole thing.

Unfortunately, it appears that Steyn is right about Europe, or at least Old Europe.

There's a chance that new Europe, the eastern block countries along with the UK might ultimately prevail in their thinking. It appears that it's terminal for France, Germany, and the Benelux countries.

Demographics will get them long before they regain their sanity.

" But the real battleground is the West itself, "

Always has been. It's such a shame that Mr. Steyn is just about the only one who seems to understand that fact.

Perhaps in the end the comparison isn’t World War Two or the Cold War, but the one that created the modern Middle East in the first place — the First World War, which began with one specific act of violence and unraveled all the great European empires before it was done.

One of those empires, interestingly enough, was the Ottoman. The Arabic resurgence has been fueled by oil wealth and propagated by radicals who were kept successfully repressed by the Turkish Sultans. T. E. Lawrence might not have done us all that much of a favor after all.
