#1 Old Europe is certainly doomed. Whether or not a new Europe can emerge in time to save itself from sharia hell is unknown.

#2 My favorite excerpt is the auther's reference to
a certain kind of intelligence, available only to those who have undergone a lot of formal education, not to be able to work it out.

Dalrymple's point of view on the decline of western Europe is quite different from Spengler's, but they complement each other well.

#3 Why should Western Europe do anything? They Know America will come to their rescue as we have in the past.

#4 Wanna bet you life on it, I personaly think the "Baseball Rule" applies here, three strikes, and you're out.

#5 Europe is also a sleeping giant. Islam will kick and kick and eventually that giant will stir. When that giant lashes out the Sons of Mohammad will be thrown from the continent, smashed in their caves, and then Europe will sulk for decades at what they did.

#6 They Know America will come to their rescue as we have in the past.

In reality there is very little we can do to help them. We may help with Iran and other outside forces - but their biggest problems are internal.

#7 Why should Western Europe do anything? They Know America will come to their rescue as we have in the past.

If it comes to that, the continent becomes an American suzerain, pending installation of democracy, and all nuclear weapons should be confiscated (or used in a timely manner).

#8 Statehood would not be the worst thing that could happen to the European states. Better than dhimmitude.

#9 Damn, Nimble - the last thing we need is more welfare state professional victims for the Democrats!

Make 'em a territory like Guam so at least they can't screw up our elections and with it one of the few functioning countries left in this world.

#10 
Doomed. Sliding toward oblivion for the last 100 years.

Proof that the man's nature is not "freedom" if given the choice.
