Such a world would be a more dangerous place, but not necessarily for Americans. It is Europe that's closer and more vulnerable to terrorists, dysfunctional states and other enemies. That is why I'm a relatively relaxed hawk. The US may be forced to suffer the perception of defeat, but it is Europe that will live with the consequences. Be careful what you wish for.

Steyn never ceases to amaze me. In the immortal words of Kelso: Burn!!!

It happens in every war. These aren't stunning surprises, they're inevitable: it might be a bombed mosque or a hospital, a shattered restaurant or a slaughtered wedding party, but it will certainly be something.

Okay, a freaky West Virginia tramp leading a naked Iraqi round on a dog leash with a pair of Victoria's Secret panties on his head and a banana up his butt, maybe that wasn't so inevitable.

I'm sorry, but that is just really funny lol

I'll say. Steyn apparently suffered writing withdrawal while on his trip and uncorked a bunch of classics in this piece.

"al-Sadr al-Wiser.."...ROFLAMAO X 10 !!!!!!!!!!

..all while nailing the truth dead on.

'With moulting hawks all around squawking their forlorn chorus of "I'm No Longer Such An Ugly Duckling", it's tempting to join the mass ecdysis'


'Ecdysis' is the molting
of the cuticula in arthropods and related groups (Ecdysozoa)

as in cockroach
