U.S. Can Sit Back and Watch Europe Implode

Mark Steyn offers up a few thoughts on the President's trip to Europe and reminds us that the problems which they face are largely their own fault. The President had a few words to say to them about anti-semitism and the war on terrorism. No doubt the leaders of Old Europe were not happy to be reminded of how weak and irrelevant they have become on the world stage. Their creaking socialist welfare systems have brought their economies to their knees and atrophied their military forces. That we pay attention to them at all is really a matter of good manners rather than necessity.
