A West Gone Mad

In Australia, an Irish Nobel Peace Prize winner tells school kids she’s non-violent, but she’d still kill President Bush.

In London, thousands of British Leftists and Muslim radicals, all of them citizens of a democracy that safeguards their rights, march in support of the terrorist group Hezbollah and against the democratic states of Israel and the U.S. You can marvel at the pics on display at “Moonbatmedia.com”  My personal fave is a protest sign that says “Iran Needs Nuclear Weapons.”

I’ve attended these joint Leftist/Muslim demonstrations in London’s Trafalgar Square, and I have rarely felt such a spirit of evil as I have at them. 

We live in world that continues to sink deeper and deeper into sort of a hypnotized, irrational hatred of…what? The West?  Capitalism? “America”? George W. Bush? Traditional notions of right and wrong? All of these, to varying degrees. 

Don’t tell me the reason is “war” or “violence.” The haters don’t march when homicide bombers blow apart an Israeli café or terrorists attack a western target anywhere in the world.  

Yet another poll last month showed Europeans view the United States as a greater threat than Iran or China.

We know why the Medieval Muslim Movement (al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, et al.) and its media sympathizers hate the West. A much more interesting question is why so many in the West hate the West.
