#1 O'REILLY's Radio Show [paraphrased] > Post-Cold War/9-11 Europe will likely do little to nothing until such time the Radical Islamists begin blowing up Euro-cities, towns, and malls, etc. to which O'Reilly believes Europe's post-reaction will be too little, too late to resolve wid out casualties + destruction on a massive scale on all sides, and within Europe = Euro-soil itself. Neutrals will NOT escape.

#2 "It is a conflict," Mr. Dopfner continued, "that will most likely last longer than any of the great military conflicts of the last century -- a conflict conducted by an enemy that cannot be tamed by 'tolerance' and 'accommodation' but is actually spurred on by such gestures, which have proven to be, and will always be taken by the Islamists for signs of weakness.

This is the plain truth. It has changed the world as we know it. We all might as well deal with it. Baby Boomers such as myself will pine for the days when we could argue over matters that will seem trivial in hindsight. We are down to good v/s evil. We need to deal with it.

#3 Yes, this is two years old, but apparently published in the Washington Times today. And that's OK. Snopes has a more 'careful' translation here. The only difference I noted right off is that someone has changed the orignal 300,000 death toll from Sammy to 500,000 and added a blessing.

But the author of the editorial notes - The Bush take on Iraq has found an important convert in Europe. But it is losing many of its original converts in the U.S.

If the 'convert' is two years old, perhaps the loss of same is equally out-of-date.

#4 Mr. Dopfner gets it.

This guy is the CEO of 150 newspapers and magazines in 27 countries. That's alot of power. I hope to see him put his money where his mouth is. Say, for example, at least one article per day above the fold reporting the latest muslim attempt to defeat western civilization. Perhaps in time it will help to rally support to resist the jihad.

#6 Via David's Medienkritik:

What is surprising, though, is the fact that this CEO heads a company deriving most of its sales and profits from catering to the rich in America. The name of the company is Porsche, and the CEO is Wendelin Wiedeking. He had this to say about America in an interview with the German weekly SPIEGEL (Issue 39-2006):

SPIEGEL: Are you promoting the idea that the old German economic system with its social
market economy, which is increasingly giving way to the Anglo-American, should be retained?

Wiedeking: We mustnt copy one to one everything
that works in the Anglo-American realm,
particularly since we have proof delivered over the centuries that our idea about economies works too. We have a tradition. Europes culture is decidedly older than that of the USA. The Fuggers were doing business, while hunting was still the order of the day in America. Right now 37 million people in the USA live below the poverty line.

The gulf between poor and rich has widened brutally. Do we want to have a situation like that in Europe and particularly in Germany?

(Translation of quote by Richard Bartholomew)
