VDH is saying that having Iranian nuclear missiles poised for launching in a fortnight is concentrating European minds wonderfully.

Are there sufficient numbers of Orthodox Russian youth to pick up the Crusade?

My wife is 100% Italian - a real Italian, not someone whose great-grandfather came from Naples and moved to America. My inlaws live in London and Milan. My wife had a very interesting observation. She said that there will be a point when the whole European world will tip and change completely. Hey, her dad was fighting with the fascists during WWII (yes, her dad and my dad could have faced off on different sides), so I think she knows about European extremism. She sees the real possibility of mass deportations, camps, "ethnic cleansing," loyalty oaths - the whole nine yards. Her comment was that no one is more vicious about these sorts of things than the French. In comparison, she's fascinated about the way Americans dither constantly about this or that instead of just going in and pounding the crap out of the enemy.

Today's Senate hearing is a great example of our dithering. We the people of the US are dependent upon a bunch of "over protected wet their pants if the Capitol if threatened" Senators wanting another bureaucratic layer to intercept INTERNATIONAL Al Qaede calls to the US.

Your wife's observation is correct.

I do not for a minute reject the possibility of Heydrich methods being employed to solve the 'Muslim Problem'. All that political correctness is overcompensation.

The French thought they could bond with the Muslims in a shared anti-Americanism. The riots woke them up. Something about the smell of burning cars. Combine that with the rejection of the EU constitution and the collapse of the Gaullist dream of turning Europe into some kind of French Third Empire able to confront America as an equal. They see now that they had better patch up with an America that has learned that Europeans are useful on occasion but not necessary.

But this was all so inevitable. Once Europe felt threatened wouldn't it, as always, come crawling back to us ?

Great article by VDH. His comments about NATO and potential new alliances brushes along an idea I floated a while ago about a global anti-jihad alliance along the lines of the old NATO alliance which would enable us to put on a united front against the enemy.

Bring in as many nations on the receiving end of the global jihad as possible, from Europe and Israel to the Philippines and Australia. Of course, we're not going to call it an "anti-jihad alliance"... something innocuous would do and would indeed be preferable, as long as all the players understood what the objectives are and to support each other instead of interfering with the actions of members. One such example would be to create a new voting block at the UN to help counter the OIC's agenda.

The big step towards this of course, is waking up the Europeans and the left in general. The failures of their policies of appeasement and the clouds of smoke over a burning Europe today may just one day save them from becoming an extension of an islamic empire. The clash is an inevitable one, but its better done sooner than later before the demographics run their course and acquisition of nukes, bio and chems by more islamic states who try to fulfill their wet dreams of holocausts, madhis and caliphates.

Europe and Canada are little women who cling to Big Daddy United States for protection. They've been fashionably feminized to the point of total helplessness. If they could recover their masculine powress needed to rescue Western Civilization, they'd again be welcome partners. I have my doubts whether they mean to assume the great task our times require of them.

Maybe this whole "Islam" thing is just eyewash. It is, as its probably always been - a matter of the have-nots against he haves.

"He haves" ? Who is that?

If you mean haves vs. have-nots, you must be referring to either brains or mercy.

The West has both. Islam has neither.

Cheers!
