Winning the war, losing the peace in Europe

We have swept away Hitlerism, but a great many Europeans feel that the cure has been worse than the disease.

This is not a parody, but a quote from a real article in ??Life?? magazine from 1946, six months after the end of WWII. The headline is Hopefully, though, 50 years from now Iraq won't be failing like Europe is now.

See, it wasn't worth missing the camel milk

Except for a convention of European intellectuals, the only place on earth where you could draw applause by damning Jews for their alleged "invention" of human rights and democracy is the Organization of the Islamic Conference, a collection of miserably failed states represented largely by aging dictators. They're hardly in a position to condemn human rights and democracy, since they've never tried either one.

Remember, although Prime Minister Mahathir may sound like a lone wacko, he got "strong support from the rest of the OIC":http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=8595_Islamic_Nations_Unite_in_Jew-Hatred. Mahathir himself is "unrepentant":http://www9.sbs.com.au/theworldnews/region.php?id=71059®ion=2. The EU doesn't "see a problem":http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/spages/351102.html either.
