EUROPE - THY NAME IS COWARDICE
(Commentary by Mathias Dapfner CEO, Axel Springer, AG)

A few days ago Henry Broder wrote in Welt am Sonntag, "Europe - your family
name is appeasement." It's a phrase you can't get out of your head because
it's so terribly true.
(lots snipped)
These days, Europe reminds me of an old woman who, with shaking hands,
frantically hides her last pieces of jewelry when she notices a robber
breaking into a neighbor's house.

As usual, you don't have a clue... totally barking up the wrong tree.
The fact that European countries are not invading Arab nations on false
pretenses doesn't mean they are not fighting terrorism effectively

It would seem that you are the one needing a clue infusion, as none of
those articles shows any form of offensive terrorism fighting. They've
been little more than defensive and reactive in nature. Like I once
challenged you to provide, and you failed to, Europeans have done
little to fight the problem at the source, believing naively, that
they can fight terrorism by simply capturing them as they try to carry
out their plans. The problem is that they may capture 99% of the
terrorists, but it only takes 1 with a nuke to succeed, and well......

Appeasement and ignorantly hiding their heads in the sand thinking
that terrorism is a "manageable" fad that will go away on its own if
we hold strong, is a very poor course of action in this case. Like the
"treaties" with Hitler in the 1930's gave a false sense of security,
strictly defensive policies with regard to terrorism is equally
unwise.

It's not my commentary. Take up your grievances with Mathias Dapfner.

Oh, you posted it because you disagree with it?
