Everybody's
talking about these British hostages in Iran, but we're all
missing the bigger picture; the lesson that this whole
episode should be teaching us. The "Story that Some Think
is Authentic But That Other Smart People Disagree With"
(that's my politically correct title for "The Real Story")
is that the whole concept of Great Britain as an ally may be
dead and, once again, political correctness is the killer.
Sure, the hostages are a part of why I say that; I mean,
when only 7 percent of your country supports planning
military action to free your soldiers who are being held
against their will by an enemy then I start to question your
spine as an ally...but, honestly, it's a much more
fundamental problem. A study funded by the British
Government has found that some schools are actually dropping
topics like the Holocaust from their curriculum for -- ready
for this: "fear of upsetting students."
Let me run that through the bullcrap to English dictionary
for you: they're scared of inciting the small number of
Muslim students who hate Jews and believe the Holocaust
never happened. Hey geniuses: this is HISTORY class; there
is no controversy -- it happened -- teach it.
This is exactly what I was talking about yesterday when I
said that political correctness will be the death of us. If
"those who forget history are doomed to repeat it" then
those who never learn history will absolutely repeat
it...you simply cannot deny the truth and expect there not
to be any consequences.
Britain, it's been fun, but a country worried this much
about political correctness isn't one I want fighting in the
trenches with me and watching my back.
