I agree with all the points you make. I just want to make one comment: I think Blair is aware of the fifth coloumn in our midst:
"The truth is, faced with this struggle, on which our own fate hangs, a significant part of Western opinion is sitting back, if not half-hoping we fail, certainly replete with schadenfreude at the difficulty we find. "
But, I think your observations are profound. Particularly, where I live. Norway is practically enemy territory. If you break from the party line you risk social riddecule. Many people are cowed into silence.
No more. This is a struggle we have to win, and everyone has a part to play.
Have a good night and a great easter.
Cheers.
I don't know how you can stand it, eurotwit. But then I'm not in much better shape - I live in the san francisco bay area - the front line of the "enemy within". I've lost several "friends" in this culture war...
