Victor Davis Hanson is an outstanding commentator. I have read his book "The Western Way of War" and it illustrates enormous differences between what is now Euro-American society and Eastern societies. The cultural differences are almost entirely in our favor, by the way.

Add Hanson's "Carnage and Culture" to the list. http://www.omdurman.org/burden.html#superior for an excerpt from this book that shows why Euro-American culture is superior to Islamofascist culture.

How many years must a man look down
Before he’s no more a man
How many bombers must be let loose
Before they give them the noose
How many years can the Satanists hate
Before the world does them annihilate
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
How many years must a nation exist
Before it’s allowed just to be
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
How many dead must one people have
Before it hears its people cry
How many deaths will it take till it knows
That too many people have died
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
(Apologies to Joan Baez)

Three Pillars of Wisdom
Finding our footing where lunacy looms large.
Victor Davis Hanson, NRO
Public relations between the so-called West and the Islamic Middle East have reached a level of abject absurdity. Hamas, whose charter pledges the very destruction of Israel, comes to power only through American-inspired pressures to hold Western-style free elections on the West Bank. No one expected the elders of a New England township, but they were nevertheless somewhat amused that the result was right out of a Quentin Tarantino movie.
Almost immediately, Hamas's newly elected, self-proclaimed officials issued a series of demands: Israel should change its flag; the Europeans and the Americans must continue to give its terrorists hundreds of millions of dollars in aid; there will be no retraction of its promises to destroy Israel.
Apparently, the West and Israel are not only to give to Hamas some breathing space ("a truce"), but also to subsidize it while it gets its second wind to renew the struggle to annihilate the Jewish state.
All this lunacy is understood only in a larger surreal landscape. Tibet is swallowed by China. Much of Greek Cyprus is gobbled up by Turkish forces. Germany is 10-percent smaller today than in 1945. Yet only in the Middle East is there even a term "occupied land," one that derived from the military defeat of an aggressive power. MORE
