VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The Last Generation of the West and the Thin Strand of Civilization.

I saw this yesterday, but didn't have time to comment upon it.  This kind of thing seems like whining to me.  What do these people ever do about this things that they complain about?  When I read this I think  "fine, now what are you going to do about it?"

Meanwhile, the forces of destruction want to shut us all down.  If this wasn't a war, it sure gives every impression of being one.  If you don't fight back, you lose.

Doing nothing reminds me of the stories I read about the fall of the Roman Empire.  All the Romans of that time did was to complain about the Christians.  But they wouldn't do any of the fighting and let the barbarians do that.  If the barbarians were good fighters and won some battles, they would stab them in the back out of jealousy.  If a good Roman was successful, they'd do the same thing.  Nothing good can survive in such an environment.
