There is a sort of
crusade underway, an especially perfidious crusade consisting of systematic
attacks by fanatic Muslims, focused on civilians, directed against our
free, open Western societies, and intent upon Western Civilization's utter
destruction.It is a conflict that will most likely last longer than any of
the great military conflicts of the last century - a conflict conducted by
an enemy that cannot be tamed by "tolerance" and "accommodation" but is
actually spurred on by such gestures, which have proven to be, and will
always be taken by the Islamists for signs of weakness. Only two recent
American Presidents had the courage needed for Anti-appeasement: Reagan and
Bush.His American critics may quibble over the details, but we Europeans
know the truth. We saw it first hand: Ronald Reagan ended the Cold War,
freeing half of the German people from nearly 50 years of terror and
virtual slavery. And Bush, supported only by the Social Democrat Blair,
acting on moral conviction, recognized the danger in the Islamic War
against Democracy. His place in history will have to be evaluated after a
number of years have passed.In the meantime, Europe sits back with
charismatic self-confidence in the multicultural corner, instead of
defending liberal society's values and being an attractive center of power
on the same playing field as the true great powers, America and China.On
the contrary - we Europeans present ourselves, in contrast to those
"arrogant Americans", as the World Champions of "tolerance", which even
(Germany's Interior Minister) Otto Schily justifiably criticizes. Why?
Because we're so moral? I fear it's more because we're so materialistic, so
devoid of a moral compass.For his policies, Bush risks the fall of the
dollar, huge amounts of additional national debt, and a massive and
persistent burden on the American economy - because unlike almost all of
Europe, Bush realizes what is at stake - literally everything.While we
criticize the "capitalistic robber barons" of America because they seem too
sure of their priorities, we timidly defend our Social Welfare systems.
Stay out of it! It could get expensive! We'd rather discuss reducing our
35-hour workweek or our dental coverage, or our 4 weeks of paid vacation...
Or listen to TV pastors preach about the need to "reach out to terrorists.
To understand and forgive".These days, Europe reminds me of an old woman
who, with shaking hands, frantically hides her last pieces of jewelry when
she notices a robber breaking into a neighbor's house.Appeasement?Europe,
thy name is Cowardice.---God Bless America---
