The strategy of "considering the Muslim sensitivities" has not worked. Terrorist activities have exploded in the last few years. Islamist extremist are feeling emboldened to the point that world wide jihad is no longer a far fetched dream but a reality. They consider the West, and especially the Europeans, weaklings who do not represent any kind of threat to them. Moreover the Europeans can be used as a political propaganda tool to isolate the only country that is willing to fight the terrorists, the U.S. 

The EU politicians believe that Hezbollah is a grass roots organization that represents a substantial segment of Lebanese population. After all they build the hospitals and schools for the poor Shiites in Southern Lebanon. We know now that such generosity has a price tag on it. During the hostilities with Israel those same poor people are used as human shields while  the Hezbollah terrorists can shoot their rockets at their Zionist enemy.

Let's consider what would happen if Hezbollah was universally recognized to be the vicious terrorists that they are. It would put more pressure on Iran and Syria not to be so open in their support for their Lebanese puppet. The side effect may also be more power and credibility given to the democratically elected government of Fuad Seniora. And then, maybe, the Lebanese government will do what normal governments are supposed to do, which is to take control of their country.

But that kind of thinking requires a spine that the EU currently does not have. What do we see instead coming out of the European capitals? We see pictures of president of Spain Jose Louis Zapatero sporting a Palestinian scarf called kafieh. The only thing missing for a complete picture is Yasser Arafat standing next to him. Then on July 31st the French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy said the following; "Iran is the significant, respected player in the Middle East which is playing a stabilizing role". Only two days later Mahmoud Ahmedinijad called for "elimination of Zionist regime" making the French Foreign Minister look like a fool. 

History repeats itself all the time but unfortunately people refuse to learn from it. Prior to World War II many European politicians tried to appease the Germans without much success. The sensitivity did not work as German tanks rolled into Poland and Czechoslovakia starting the war that took untold millions of lives. Their sensibility is not going to work with Hezbollah and their masters ether. What makes anybody think that the Islamic fascists will be more reasonable then their Nazi predecessors when they are openly talking about world domination? Incidentally the Nazis also started with the Jews before they went after the rest of the world.

Whether Europeans want to believe it or not, Israel, which they enjoy hating so much, is the last outpost between the Islamists and their march on Europe which by the way has already began. I would strongly suggest to the EU politicians to hit the history books and study hard. In those books they will find all the answers they need. Unfortunately these are answers they do not wish to hear.
