Does the West have the will to survive?

Click here: Threads2

That ( I think) is what's on Lucianne Goldberg's site, in a NYPost column by SecDef Donald Rumsfeld.

Answer: We do.

It's the best game in town ever: prosperous, innovative, relatively peaceful since 1945 --- more than half a century(!)

And frustrating.

(Read the last few paragraphs of William MacNeill's The Rise of the West.)

The Islamo-fascist-jihadist-terrorists (Could I make a macro of that?) can bother us, but not overwhelm us.

Rumsfeld BTW, is not just a mindless down-sizing hawk.

He's been on the Board of Freedom House whose charter members included Eleanor Roosevelt, an idealistic, liberal, champion of liberty --- wherever and whenever possible.
