Many such “telegrams” have been written, not only by Mark Steyn but also by Victor Davis Hanson and a few other noble stalwarts. It seems, however, that our “leaders” — on both sides of the aisle — are unable to read. Worse, as VDH points out, the rest of the populace would rather bury their noses in the “news” of Paris Hilton and her colleagues.
Mark is but saying what used to be called common sense. But in a Liberal/PC-dominated culture as most of the West is now, finding common sense is like finding needles in haystacks.
