Appeasement crippled Europe when genocide ran rampant in Kosovo, and even though we had absolute proof of ongoing mass-murder, we Europeans debated and debated and debated, and were still debating when finally the Americans had to come from halfway around the world, into Europe yet again, and do our work for us.

This guy is going to screw around and get his press card yanked..

Great article.

Thanks for posting it.

Good for him and I hope many Germans will take note of it.

At least some Europeans are seeing the light!

I believe that he does. Germany has a large "silent majority" like we have in America. The looney, outrageously vocal, minority gets all the press there. Same as here in America.

Europe was seduced into Clintonism. Will be interesting to watch the actions and reactions of the nations of the world to this mighty disaster dumped here in the US.

Who will offer help and who will seek to take advantage.

Great because it is true!

Also, let's not forget Rwanda! 1 MILLION lives lost while Europe fiddled.

This is outstanding. The best of America's conservative columnists could not have written a better article. This would impress even Ann Coulter.

I suggest we all pass this along to not only our FR contacts but all our email contacts.

I give this essay a 99. It's strong, to the point, and absolutely correct. I deduct 1 point because he is wrong about Kosovo. Kosovo was a clintonoid war, fought on the wrong side. Sure, the Serbs may have massacred some Muslims, but the Muslims massacred many more Christians, destroyed hundreds of ancient churches, and introduced Islamic terrorism into the underbelly of Europe.

But I don't think that one error takes much away from the rest of the essay. And it's true that Europe stood by and did nothing in that case too, until clinton acted and unfortunately persuaded them (without much difficulty) to jump in on the wrong side.

And on that day, Germany's backbone grew not once, not twice, but three times its normal size!

The original article appeared in Die Welt back in November of 2004. The newer article appears to have been written within a few days. No links so I can't be sure of the dates, but this stuff is almost a year old isn't it?

"Interesting commentary. I hope he speaks for many Germans."

He just might. I understand that the cowardly appeasing Quislings of the SPD are expected to lose big in the next election. A chancellor from the CDU will hopefully be a better ally than Schroeder and his band of America-hating commie wannabes.

Thought you might be pleasantly surprised at these words from Germany.
