I Thought This Was Deeply Instructive

J.J. Jackson* | May 7, 2006

Comments by Ayaan Hirsi Ali I found while poking around at Atlas Shrugs:

?My criticism of the West, especially of liberals, is that they do take freedom for granted,? Ms. Ali responded. She noted that Western Europeans born after World War II are unused to conflict. ?They have lost the instinct to recognize that there can be such a thing as an enemy or a threat to freedom, and that?s what I?m witnessing in Europe now,? she stated. ?[There is] a pacifist ideology that violence should never be used in any circumstances, and so we should talk and talk and talk. Even when your opponent tells you, ?I don?t want to talk to you, I want to destroy you,? the reaction is, ?Please, let?s talk about the fact that you want to destroy me!??

I just thought it was instructive considering her background.

Too bad most liberals are too blinded by their own self-righteousness to see the truth that she speaks.
