VDH on the West: No Churchillian Vision

I wish Hanson were wrong about Western elites' loss of nerve.  But I don't think he is.

Read this: "Will the West Stumble?"

I'm more and more convinced that the real hope for the West lies not in the morally emasculated elites, but in ordinary people -- ordinary men and women who refuse to go meekly and quietly into the night.

I'll blog at length later and at length about these issues, but I won't have time until school holidays.  For now, I'll let Hanson -- himself a retired professor of history! -- exercise his eloquence in my place.  He's a much better writer than I am, anyway!
