Mark Steyn's got quite a following on the blogosphere and here's why -

...When an American Jew stands at the gates of a former concentration camp and sees the inscription "Never again", he assumes it's a commitment never again to tolerate genocide. Alain Finkielkraut, a French thinker, says that those two words to a European mean this: never again the führers and duces who enabled such genocide. "Never again power politics. Never again nationalism. Never again Auschwitz" - a slightly different set of priorities. And over the years a revulsion against any kind of "power politics" has come to trump whatever revulsion post-Auschwitz Europe might feel about mass murder.

That's why the EU let hundreds of thousands of Bosnians and Croats die on its borders until the Americans were permitted to step in. That's why the fact that thousands of Iraqis are no longer being murdered by their government is trivial when weighed against the use of Anglo-American military force required to effect their freedom. "Never again" has evolved to mean precisely the kind of passivity that enabled the Holocaust first time round. "Neville again" would be a better slogan.

This beautifully illustrates the central lesson the PoMo Euro Left took away from WWII.   They saw the conflict as a battle between the moral imperatives of the Fascists against with the moral imperatives of the Democrats.   Their solution?  Castigate imperatives altogether & embrace an effete policy.  One that possesses a view of human nature that denigrates power, elevates the victim and necessarily blames the baton-wielding cop as much as the criminal for the existance of crime.
