They [Europeans] still live in the shadow of two unthinkable wars, and have learnt that patriotism and courageous instincts have too often resulted in corruption, destruction and death.

This typical liberal “bent” logic. Rather than attribute the “two unthinkable wars” to the real sources such as ideology and economic clashes, the liberals cite “patriotism and courageous instincts.” There seems to no shortage of Lenin’s “useful idiots,” especially, the liberal variety, running around Europe.
