A day may come when the courage of men fails,
when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day.
An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down,
but it is not this day!
This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth,
I bid you stand, Men of the West! – Aragorn’s speech, before the Black Gates
With our feckless, lying president in full retreat from the Iranian and Islamist threats, it would seem the courage of Western men has failed. Certainly with the London decapitation in full view of a crowd of Brit men— including unarmed and apparently cowardly cops– when only a woman had the cojones to confront the killers. While the cops watched from far enough away to be safe. Disgusting.

UPDATE: OTOH, the authorities moved swiftly to punish a few Brits making connections between the Woolwich murder and Islam on Twitter and Facebook, while pretending to know nothing about such a connection.
Similar, as Richard Fernandez notes, to the WaPo pretending that the Muslim rioters in Sweden are merely “youths” protesting the “underprivilege” of the “foreign born.” The WaPo “knows what it means and we are supposed to know what it means but we are not supposed to admit that we know what it means.”
While Swedish police, using a “non-intervention policy” with the rioters,act to stop people defending their homes and vehicles.
