What Manhood of the West?

Richard Fernandez on the murder of a soldier by Islamist in England.

Only the women tried to help.

The attackers knew they were actors in a drama — as keenly watched in their communities as on the BBC. And in that other audience they were asking: “How will the locals behave?” We know now. And that other audience may derive an entirely different lesson from this tableau: “See? Only their women act like men. They follow orders. They are nothing anymore — these Westerners. They are a civilization whose core has been destroyed.”

The Islamists on Jihad asked to be shot; they had to wait 20 minutes.

What the fuck Britain?
I expect more from you than this.
You, the descendants of the stiff upper lip, chin
up, mighty British Empire.
You, the descendants of soldiers and men, such
as those who prevailed at Rorke’s Drift.
I expect so much more.
How could so many of your citizens stand idly
by, allowing terrorist scum to causally be interviewed
and filmed, free to revel in their muderous crime?
I’ve become accustomed to being disappointed by the
growing cowardice and worthlessness of my fellow
Americans, but to see the British fall and fail similarly,
my heart truly weeps.

"Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the walls up with our English dead."

Sadly, now never more true than in Britain and throughout Europe.
