Steyn the decline

Mark Steyn looks at the decline of empire and what is in store for the world if the United States buys into the mind set.

This is sober reading first thing in the morning and should not only be on the desk of every congressman, but with the British defence budget facing an insane 20 percent cut in a time of war every MP as well.

Remember, it's a choice.

Update: I hope the West hasn't already made the choice. After all, not even the Romans at their worst turned restaurant bathrooms into BYO* brothels.

    This is possibly the reason so many school systems are doing away with history lessons.
    I can hear some kid reading about the fall of Rome and saying, "hey, wasn't this on the news last night?"

    I know, I know, a kid in a government school, reading, watching news, news that reports the dangers of decline, commenting in understandable words; I live in fantasy land.

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
