#1 ...the Canadian prime minister, a renowned sophisticate and indeed a fluent franco-phone, who last year declared in public that China was the most important nation in the Southern Hemisphere.

Steyn, YOU RASCAL!

And we think our educational system is broken...

#3 I hate to rain on Europe's parade...

Liar.

...the traditional argument made by the Germans...that they're an ancient volk while the Americans are an artificial uncultured mongrel "half-degenerated sub-race" (Kant in 1775).

Hey! Surely we must be fully degenerated by now!

#4 Damn straight, Angie! :) In fact, I can hear the strains of Euro anti-Americanism coming in faintly now, to the tune of Officer Krupke:

"They're no good, they're no good, they're no earthly good, deep inside of them, they are no good!" (They MUST be talking about Americans.)

But the "war on terror" is more accurately a race against time - to unwreck the Middle East before its toxins wreck South Asia, West Africa, and eventually Europe. The doom-mongers can mock Bush all they want. But theyâre spending so much time doing so, theyâve left themselves woefully uninformed on some of the fascinating subtleties of Iraqi and Afghan politics that his Administration turns out to have been rather canny about.

Nicely said.

#5 aaah yes - Kant didn't even understand himself...

"Have patience awhile; slanders are not long-lived. Truth is the child of time; ere long she shall appear to vindicate thee."

Seems to be in conflict with the above quote...

#7 means to persevere through the lies and those that tell them, the ultimate truth always comes for all to see and vidicates the wronged. Or some shit like that.
