World-Wide Facist Tide

As much as it is attractive to avoid and delay the tough decisions which require pain and suffering on everyone's part, the time for France to act has now passed. It's now too late for decisive action. But it is not too late to put a stop to the violence.

In my view, what is required is a two-fold approach.

The first area of this approach is to stop the violence with crushing discipline, if necessary. The violence must stop for both the short and long terms for their republic to recover.

The second thing that must happen is an honest attempt to resolve the root of the problem. This, of course, is much easier said than done. Efforts to throw money at the problem of disaffected youth and an entire disenfranchised population will fail if said population has no wish to assimilate and contribute to the "host" nation.

The lesson here is not only for France. How many nations around the world are now playing host to whole populations of domestically-born "foreigners?" Europe and the U.S. immediately come to mind. Nations within nations. Divide and conquer. A nation divided cannot stand.

I am reminded of something Pat Buchanan wrote recently, "Colonization of the mother countries by subject peoples is the last chapter in the histories of empires - and the next chapter in the history of the West, which is now coming to a close".
I am not so pessimistic, however. But to ultimately survive, the West must give the aggressor no quarter. This is not happening now.

The question remains: what will it take to waken Western governments to the reality that this is war? How many more must die?
September 11, 2001 was not the beginning. The violence in France is not the end.
