"Free citizens of advanced western democracies are increasingly the world’s wrinkliest teenagers: the state makes the grown-up decisions and we spend our pocket money on our record collection...[In] a childish infantilized self-absorbed society where adults have been stripped of core responsibilities, you need never stop playing with toys. We are the children we never had."

Superb piece. In a hundred years if there are any vestiges of western civilization surviving underground,this guy is going to be required reading among the resistance."Where The West Went Wrong & Surrendered to Islamofascism 101". I just hope there's still enough time for Steyn to win the Pulitzer before the Imams burn everything he's written.

"Where The West Went Wrong & Surrendered to Islamofascism 101".

I would respectfully suggest that you missed his point. Islam - Radical or Otherwise - is no more the basic problem than the barbarians were for the Roman Empire. It is not that they are strong; the West is weak.

I just hope there's still enough time for Steyn to win the Pulitzer before the Imams burn everything he's written.

Unfortunately, as most of his writings have a conservative bent, he'll never win a Pulitzer. Even though he writes rings around every other op ed contributor I have ever come across, and covers a much broader spectrum, from pop culture to the war to the future.

It's as if Frank Rich of the NYT kept up writing play reviews while doing his editorials on the world, and had talent too.
