The difference between a leader trying to preserve Western civilization and decadent caretakers of nations in steep decline

The live microphone gaffe that caught the MEC and Nicholas Sarkozy bad-mouthing Benjamin Netanyahu speaks volumes about our prospects. I used to think that Sarkozy was a man of principle, particularly in comparison with the MEC, but this episode indicates to me that he has no more sense of what we are about to lose than any of the other clowns who preside over failing Western nation-states.

Would he care to explain what he thinks Netanyahu lies about? Would he care to identify this element of the Palestinian political spectrum that is supposedly cool with Israel's survival as a Jewish state?

The hour is fast approaching when the courageous prime minister of Israel is going to be the last person among Western leaders to make any kind of a substantive move to save the bacon of the whole sorry lot of them . . . the whole sorry lot of us.
