I read the whole thing through, and I can't help thinking "My God, who even thinks about 3/11 anymore?"

Is it because it was them and not us, or because they don't matter and we do, or is that the same thing?

I think it's because they reacted the opposite to 3/11 than we did 9/11. The huge outpouring of sympathy was replaced with almost a feeling of betrayal.

"Think about an election where 20% of the voters are a culturally unassimilated Muslim bloc. If Washington has a hard time getting any useful contribution to the war from Europe now, you do the math five years hence."

Hit it right on the head! There is nothing but strife and massive civil unrest if not outright civil war just around the corner for most of Europe - they just don't want to see it - until its too late, just like they have always done.
