Good question. “Three Years Alone,” from Steyn Online, October 21 (thanks to the incomparable Kathy Shaidle):
Three years ago, October 2006, America Alone: The End Of The World As We Know It was officially published in the US and Canada…It’s been an eventful three years, leading not just to paperback and foreign editions but three investigations for “flagrant Islamophobia” and (just this very month) an appearance before the Canadian Parliament. Sometimes in all the ructions, the main thrust of my thesis get lost, but I believe the central points hold up better than ever – and are borne out by news stories on an almost daily basis: a) This demographic transformation is happening very fast; and b) In the end, it’s not about “them”, it’s about “us”. Are there characteristics particular to western civilization that are worth defending? If we don’t think there are, why would anybody else?
