Europe is Finished, Predicts Mark Steyn

Some of this is self evident but not inevitable in Britain. For the continent it could very well be what will happen.

The French and Germans are not interested in a fight even if their own extinction is imminent.

The Italians will fight but on their own that won't help. The Brits have a chance simply because they will take it up to a point and then will happily fight it out.

America may be a greater risk than Steyn thinks, from what I have seen in my lifetime, Americans will fight at the drop of a hat but we really don't like long wars and this will be a long one. It's staying power I'm worried about.
