A voice in the wilderness. Winston Churchill was one too. Nobody pain any attention to him except to curse him as a war monger until it was nearly too late.
One of these times it will be too late for Western Europe. This might be the time.
The mosques will soon outnumber the cathedrals in France and most of Europe unless they stop the madness.
Wow! Excellent reading, thanks for posting.
I think a large majority of the world understands and takes advantage of the US's strength of conviction. Why should we take any risks, the Americans will save us and protect us?
The problems is, we will. We can beat the terrorists, so we have to - that's what most Americans believe. So what does Europe have to do? At the very least, just get out of the way.

I can see a day when the muslim terrorists will sweep across Europe and Europe will be conquered. The great works of art destroyed by heathens who have no use for it. The European "culture" will be no more.
They all seem not to care. Perhaps they are truly cowards.
By the same token, many Americans thumb their noses at the Europeans. Witness how many times this has been posted. Do you think if the title had been less controversial it would have been posted half as many times?
The article is valid -- according to Snopes.com
The Snopes article also includes what they regard as a more accurate translation of the original German article published in: Die Welt on 20 November 2004 (those who can read German can read the original in the above German link).
"And now we are faced with a particularly grotesque form of appeasement."
Not only grotesque, but the push for appeasement - the fifth column Islamic fascist war in the west that they should be appeased - is operating at every "peaceful" level - media news coverage, legislatures and public policy, domestic security policy, education policy, media cultural content and promotion.
In the west, most people and most leaders are either totally naive or complicit in the fact that all the "peaceful" appeasement efforts (via the Muslim individuals and Muslim organizations in the west that are behind those efforts) and the violence of the terrorists are related in that they are all operating on the same philosophical agenda - submission to Islam. The linkages are not any hard network but a mutual and total conviction in the same Muslim dominance political philosophy. Most of the public words are double speak, understood to mean one thing to the western audience listening and something else to those Muslims working the agenda.
The clarity that must be made is to identify that the west's own Muslim appeasers are not terrorists, yet they are only not so because they hope to advance the same goals as the terrorists through other means. They are using the terrorists and the fear of the terrorists to seek tolerance for the "peaceful" submission to Islam, through changes in the west that accomodate Muslim religious intolerance.
Last week, a Saudi in an American court case argued that the charges against him denied him the freedom to practice and live his own culture - who was accused of raping and holding hostage a Phillipino female who worked for him. There are already British, American, German and Dutch Muslim organizations looking for the court cases and "legal argument means" to push for separate "Sharia" court adjudication for "family law" matters in western countries.
Same goals as the terrorists by other means.
Or as Robert Kagan so properly put it in his essay POWER AND WEAKNESS:
America cooks the dinner, and Europe does the dishes.
'The West is now the USA alone as the shining light of libery.'
Britain,Australia,and New Zealand ceased to exist have they?.
How nice you post that on a day 14 British soldiers have died in Afghanistan.....
And what's 'libery' anyway?.
I think this is the part we have to get over. We know who the enemy is. We know where the enemy is. We know where his training camps are. We have the means to eliminate them. Why do we think it would take a long time once we discover the will to defeat him? Why do we sit back and let him pick us apart at the time and location of his choosing?
If this story has been posted as many times as you suggest, perhaps there is validity here. You whine as Rome burns.
Whine? LOL If you're observation is correct, then so is mine.
your
Don't sell Austalia and the other english speaking nations short.
I absolutely agree with you on that....
John Howard in Australia is really steping up his actions....
Britain...in spite of Blair's best efforts really seems on the edge ....
The soldiers are in the breach but the citizens are still asleep....true in the USA also!
I understand your concern but we were written off by Boney,the Kaiser,Hitler,the Soviets and Galtieri too.....
