On the attack in Mosul

Glenn Reynolds says this Belmont Club post is must reading, and he's right. It describes in great detail how the enemy in Iraq operates. Why don't we hear more about this from MSM? Belmont Club answers that question as well.

Here's a paragraph from the same post that shows just how badly Europe has lost her moral moorings:

The Daily Telegraph describes how some European agencies actually refuse to look at mass grave sites to avoid being party to the punishment of war criminals.

Lack of European experts has held up the excavation of mass graves in Iraq, according to an American human rights lawyer working on the investigation. Greg Kehoe said the experts were not joining in because evidence might be used to sentence Saddam Hussein to death. ...

Capital punishment is not permitted within the European Union which discourages its use elsewhere. EU countries also routinely refuse to extradite people to the United States and other countries unless they receive guarantees that detainees will not be executed. The Iraqi Special Tribunal has identified a further nine mass graves to be examined for evidence of the former Saddam regime's crimes against humanity. Human rights groups estimate that 300,000 people were killed. Mr Kehoe, who spent five years investigating mass graves in Bosnia for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, said he wanted to have collected far more evidence by now, and cited the delay as one reason why the IST has yet to issue formal charges against Saddam and 11 other former regime leaders.

I'm so tired of being told that we should be more like the Europeans. First they lost the Faith, then they lost their nerve, now they're losing all ability to make moral choices.

God help us if we become any more like them.
