"The European response to the Jihadis has been an open scandal, the worst possible combination of bellicose rhetoric and craven behavior."

Thanks DC for pointing to this article...a must read!

Debellicized hits the nail on the head! How can you expect a nation to even maintain a status quo when it is debellicized as it is an idiotic gentrified way of waving a white flag.

"Europe has also been functionally debellicized, a word coined by British military historian Micheal Howard meaning “a refusal to consider armed force as a means of settling disputes.” It’s not quite the same thing as pacifism, which is based on an idealistic view of human relations. Anti-bellicism is held more as an unthought conviction, the cliche that “war never solves anything” raised to a rule of behavior."
