Fun and Erections at Occupy Bagram

“Reports” of Koran-burning Drives Idle Morons Nuts

Nation-building is bullshit. If you have the ingredients of a nation, you already have a nation, howver troubled it may be. Much of Western Europe was destroyed in bricks and mortar, in morale, the arts and in moral confidence in WW II, and within a generation rebuilt itself.

Then there’s Afghanistan.  I’m not aware of any such place that has been urged into nationhood by Western ministrations.  The preliminary assumption is that, given “peace” a nation will coalesce on its own, because of the universal desires of man for liberal democracy.

It’s  the last worn-out principle of the old liberal internationalism that emerged after WWII. It was soaked in First World benevolence and Western confidence in our own ascendancy. The Cold War only concentrated our effort to project the beliefs that existed long before the Cold War began.

Today we’re a nation petrified by liberal multiculturalism, political correctness and doubt. And yet we send our best to die in a struggle against Islamists and morbidity, in a place and for a people not worth a single American life. In that place, the people have dragged their revolting metaphysics unmodified from century to century, and now our blood is soaking their soil to either defend their choices or alter their path. Which one is it?  If the mass pants-pissing in Bagram is an answer, let this demented tribe of kneelers, kneel until they  rot.

A Western nation that won’t defend its own borders and culture; a nation that martyrs itself struggling to alleviate the cultural entropy of radical Islam, a nation which offers the lives of its young for the birth of a new Islamic Republic, is a nation confused about its own relative value and identity – a nation asking for a defeat and reckoning so horrible that future historians, if there are any, will shake their heads in wonder and contempt.
