With lots of examples from Europe, Steve Sailer has pointed out the obvious -- that where you get your immigrants from matters a hell of a lot more than how you treat them when they arrive. Steve does not stress the point but immigrants of African and Muslim origins are the problem groups. So America's Latinos are not terribly likely to be a big problem in the long run.

Thomas Friedman says that the huge unemployment among Muslim youth is a major cause of their disaffection and thinks we can somehow solve that. I think Friedman is looking at a symptom (unemployment) rather than the cause (a medieval culture). And to modernize Muslim culture is a RATHER big job with so many Ayatollahs and Mullahs and Muftis and Imams pushing in the opposite direction.

Another bunch of Leftist fakes revealed: "The war in Iraq cannot be justified as an intervention in defence of human rights even though it ended a brutal regime, Human Rights Watch said Monday". Don't they realize how ridiculous they make themselves sound? Their "concern" for human rights is not even clever fakery.

The Left have always wanted more spent on welfare and made "Fascism" a swear-word. President Bush deposed a brutal Fascist dictator and sponsored a big expansion of welfare. But instead of being admired by the Left, he is hated with a passion. What does that tell you about the Left? It tells you that they have no principles at all: That everything they have ever claimed to stand for is fake.
