“..it is now able to do simply by having children.”
No, that’s not the only reason. The West does not want to understand that it and Islam are totally incompatible and will always remain so. It thinks that it is able to survive living with a cancer. It is the PC way.
I think it's even a bit more complicated than that.
I've often pondered what effect the megadeath extravaganzas of the 20th century had on the societies who fought in them. It occurred to me long ago that Western societies never sent their "dreck" to the slaughter pens. The breeding stock that remained after we killed off so many of our best, bravest and strongest spawned the generations that came after. Therein I suspect lies the answer to many of the problems we now have.
I've read recently of a "street fair" of homosexuals on Folsom St. in SF. The public behavior of its attendees I understand was incredible. I also still burn with embarrasment at a Republican Senator being arrested for cruising in a public lavatory, and after all this, I think of the young lions we send to their deaths for the perverse, ungrateful benefit of what I see of the America around me.
Perhaps therein lies the real tragedy of war.
