CW2 Ping.

We’ve been using the expression “Cold Civil War” here on FR for at least four years, but it’s still nice for Steyn to notice.

Hree’s a link I found in about two seconds to Cold Civil War, from 2003 on FR.

Still, You cant deny that Steyn is a master wordsmith

Jeez, I didn't realize it was me. Scroll down to #19 on this thread from 2003:

Reply #19: "I agree 100% with Prager, and I call the phase we are in "THE COLD CIVIL WAR.""

Even stranger, that thread is from Oct. 21, 2003, almost 4 years ago to the day.

Whatever it takes.

Good enough place to bump this thread.

Shades of 1860 indeed.

OK, I wasn’t paying attention, and thought I was getting the original ping from my normal Mark Steyn ping list. Sorry for the double ping, CWII folks.

Y'see, Trav? It's true. "Originality is the art of concealing your sources." $;-)
