Europe, Thy Name Is Cowardice
Die Welt ^ | 02/11/2005 | Matthias Dapfner

Posted on 02/23/2005 1:59:00 PM PST by Hawk44

Appeasement cost millions of Jews and non-Jews their lives as England and France, allies at the time, negotiated and hesitated too long before they noticed that Hitler had to be fought, not bound to toothless agreements.

Appeasement legitimized and stabilized Communism in the Soviet Union, then East Germany, then all the rest of Eastern Europe where for decades, inhuman, suppressive, murderous governments were glorified as the ideologically correct alternative to all other possibilities.

Appeasement generates a mentality that allows Europe to ignore nearly 500,000 victims of Saddam's torture and murder machinery and, motivated by the self-righteousness of the peace-movement, has the gall to issue bad grades to George Bush... Even as it is uncovered that the loudest critics of the American action in Iraq made illicit billions, no, TENS of billions, in the corrupt U. N. Oil-for-Food program.

And now we are faced with a particularly grotesque form of appeasement. How is Germany reacting to the escalating violence by Islamic fundamentalists in Holland and elsewhere? By suggesting that we really should have a "Muslim Holiday" in Germany.

Only two recent American Presidents had the courage needed for anti-appeasement: Reagan and Bush.

Europe, as known to us in the 20th century, is deceased.
Its indigenous population is rapidly ageing and in
rapid decline. Hordes of Islamists pour in to wait on
tables and keep the streets clean until the EURO pension
system goes defunct. One very good recent account of this
process is to be found in the Dec. issue of Commentary
in which David Pryce-Jones has an article titled, "The
Islamization of Europe?". As Americans our concern should be with what these demographic extrapolations will mean
to us in the future. The Islamists are about to win the
Last Crusade - there are more mosques in many European
cities than chuches; and the former are filled while the
latter are empty. The European aspect of Judeo-Christian
civilization is moribund.

Good. They won't have to take a day off work to bomb something.
