Maggie's Farm

Mark Steyn, as always, nails it in his piece titled Sensitivity can have brutal consequences:

 But if you frame the issue in terms of multicultural "sensitivity," the wimp state will bend over backward to give you everything you want -- including, eventually, the keys to those skyscrapers. Thus, Jack Straw, the British foreign secretary, hailed the "sensitivity" of Fleet Street in not reprinting the offending cartoons.

Straw hailed them not for their manners, but for their timidity. In brave England? The England of Churchill? Are Straw and Blair our modern-day "better red than dead" weenies? Read Steyn's entire piece - especially our readers in Europe. You have been fore-warned, as the Jihadists say, which is all they need to do to get murder off of their consciences, apparently, according to their rules. Awake yet, Europe, our friends and cousins? Or still asleep?
