've had a recurring experience in the last few months. I'll be reading some geopolitical tract like Sands Of Empire: Missionary Zeal, American Foreign Policy, and the Hazards Of Global Ambition by Robert W. Merry, and two-thirds of the way in I'll stumble across: "With the onset of the Iraq War and European opposition, many Americans embraced a severe anti-European attitude. 'To the list of polities destined to slip down the Eurinal of history,' wrote Mark Steyn in the Jewish World Review, 'we must add the European Union and France's Fifth Republic.' "

Yes it does make me ill how liberal GW and the Republicans have become.....I just want a powerful defence,good judges ,and secure borders.....does that make me a troll??? Is it too much to expect from the Reps ?
Yeah, right WHAT? Shall we as Jim Robinson to run a poll to see how many Freepers are currently disappointed in Republicans at the moment?! As Gordongekko909 said, not an uncommon position around here. Hold your fire, will ya.
Fairford during the Gulf War....nice place....lotsa rabbits.
They are well on the way to doing that. They elected a conservative PM and have boots on the ground in Afghanistan.
They are just like the US. The cities are full of liberals, but out in the red provinces like Alberta there is a great host of hardened men who aren’t intimidated by anyone.
The Cotswolds are nice. But really quiet. I can understand why you would think of it as a retirement area. It is, in fact.
Then I stand corrected.....What about Onterio? i know I misspelled it.
When someone attempts to put division and contempt between we Children of a Common Mother, I prefer boiling tar from the get-go.
It is my nature.
What girls that were there were quite nice.
Both books are somewhat overwrought -- Berlinski dwells on her own relationship with some Muslim lad who later figured in Zadie Smith's hit novel White Teeth, and Bruce Bawer is reluctant to give up on the idea that a bisexual pothead hedonist utopia is a viable concept rather than, as it's proving in the Netherlands, a mere novelty interlude; his book might have been better called While Europe Slept Around.
LOL!
The only question about Europe is whether it's going to be (a) catastrophically bad or (b) apocalyptically bad, as in head for the hills, here come the Four Horsemen: Death (the self-extinction of European races too self-absorbed to breed), Famine (the withering of unaffordable social programs), War (civil strife as the disaffected decide to move beyond mere Citroën-torching), and Conquest (the inevitable victory of the Muslim successor population already in place). I'd say option (b) looks the better bet, for a few if not all Continental nations: united they'll fall, but divided, a handful might stand a chance.
The coming storm.....
I agree that the ramifications of the past 100 years of carnage in Europe is still having devastating consequences. Leaving out WW1 and WW2. The Russian revolution and Stalins puges resulted in a death count that historians cannot really figure. 30 million is number as good as any. That in Russia alone.
MacLeans is/was like Canada's New York Review of Books. What Steyn is doing amounts to Ann Coulter writing columns for New Yorker. Amazing why the new management at MacLeans allows him to write something for it.
eastern europe for a time but they will be overrun as well.
Well folks gotta run......later to all of you trying to save America

Enjoying your life in heaven on earth now? Come back and give us a round two shout. ;-)
Once the Muslims take over Europe, how are they going to do to sustain themselves? They have few skills, except blowing things up and breeding like flies. They better get used to having no good jobs or decent living conditions because they won't be able to keep up a modern Western livestyle/economy. What then? Will they then riot against themselves? We can only hope.
