. . . comments on Mark Steyn's America Alone.He grants Steyn's general argument, though he brings a bit more nuance to the discussion, along with that athiest liberal perspective that's been missing in so many quarters.

And that lovely, lovely mind of his.

Insty turned me on to this one. I go to Steyn's digs multiple times a week, but I do neglect Hitchens a bit. No more: Hitchens really is what I took Sullivan for several years ago. He's a truly independent thinker, and an important voice.

I'm reading America Alone. Demographics, Mark Steyn argues, are destiny—and America is way ahead of Europe and Japan in terms of replacing its citizenry with another generation that shares the same cultural imprint.

He continually concedes that most Muslims are not terrorists, but reminds us that the vast majority of them do want to live under Sharia law, and points out that Europe's future is likely to be a sort of "good cop/bad cop" routine between the jihadis and their more moderate fellow travellers.

He points to the U.S. as the only place where we are reproducing and continuing to assert a national identity. We require some assimilation on the part of our immigrants, and Steyn sees this as a healthy thing.

Very provocative, and mostly correct. More later on the divine Mr. Steyn.
