I am sorry to see you go. Not only because I like Israel a lot, I also know that we here in Europe are next. Oh well, all things must end.

Oh, well, whatever. That comment above, succinctly expressing our intrepid European allies' approach to the world, is in response to the article excerpted below, which describes the consequences to Israel of having elected Olmert and his version of the U.S. Democratic Party. The UN now shields and enables a legitimized Hezbollah and its supply line from Syria, Egypt shields and enables Hamas and its supply lines across Egypt and Sudan, and the Iranians move forward unimpeded toward their constantly-stated goal of wiping Israel off the map with atomic weapons. Why, you'd almost think there is some larger purpose here.

Ayatollah Khomeini spent his exile years in Paris carefully mapping out an Islamic vision of the future, beginning with the toppling of the Shah, and it continues to unfold better than he had any right to expect. He saw that Europe was culturally weak, but how could he have guessed that the Europeans would fall this easily onto their own sword of affluent, secular, pacifist, flaccid-liberal multiculturalism? It probably wasn't possible for a man like Khomeini to imagine hollow men quite as hollow as these are tuning out to be. Somewhere, try as he might to maintain his stern visage, the old man just can't keep from smiling. And, really, as he reads Daniel's "Oh, well" from Holland, who could blame him if he threw his head back and laughed out loud?

Our World: Israel's encirclement
By CAROLINE GLICK

"Over the past two and a half months, the Olmert government has deliberately and willingly enabled Israel's encirclement by hostile forces... As if having hostile Europeans guarding genocidal Iranian proxies in the north, and hostile Egyptians guarding and arming genocidal Palestinians in the south weren't enough, Sunday it was reported that the Olmert government is considering allowing thousands of armed PLO terrorists from the Badr Brigade in Jordan to relocate to Gaza."
