A lot of bloggers are having a debate over the future of Europe. Some feel the continent has been castrated and will eventually be taken over Muslim immigrants and fall under sharia law. Others remind us that this is the continent that brought us such wonders as pogroms, the Holocaust, and lots of other fun stuff, and that eventually some straw will break the camel's back, and there's gonna be a lot of dead non-Europeans in Europe. Who knows.... But it is important to remember that these peace-loving, welfare state, US bashing people are descended from nations that have caused the world much of its suffering over of the past millenium or so. And there's no reason they won't do so again.
