Interestingly one of the most common attacks by Euroepan and British pundits on VDH, which I had foreseen and which has been proven true, is that "he is a classics professor, but he is ignorant of modern European history and I don't trust anything he says about Europe and the world post 1648!".

What a lame response! They can't argue the substance so they disparage the messanger - evidence that Hanson has them pegged right, (and behind their stuffy facade, they know it, too!)

In fact, most of them are even haughtier than that: a more common reaction seems to be "Hanson who?". :)

And not only that - I just read someone from a German-based blog responding to this article. His response runs like this: "So what? Everything in the world is incoherent anyway and if Victor Hanson looks carefully around he will see this anywhere!" From his signature he appears to be a German.

This is just a lame justification.
