WOW! Victor Davis Hanson puts it on the line for those that live in the la la land of "Peace in our time" jazz. Hanson points out that TODAY is so similar to the 1930's that it could be a repeat of the Twilight Zone. (Okay, that is my interpretation of his point.) There is a fear of war (particularly among utopian Liberals) that apparently filters Western sight. This fear is as an opiate that that will look directly at the evil of Islamofascism, anti-Semitism and anti-Westernism; calmly dismissing the evil as good or irrelevant.

Interestingly Michael Ledeen has had the same perception pertaining to NOW and the 1930's:

Certainly there is lots of bad news, most of which confirms what we already knew: The Western world hates Israel; the taboo on anti-Semitism is off; the Western world has been P.C.’ed to the edge of death; there is no stomach for fighting the war against Islamic fascism.

Sounds like the Thirties to me.

The Conservative scholars and writers are beginning to have the courage about things I have been blogging and writing about for nearly two years. there is a sense in the air that a crisis will transform into a global brawl.

If you live in the West, get over concepts of Appeasement. It did not work for pre-WWII Prime Minister Chamberlain with Hitler, it certainly will work with the likes of Islamofascist terrorists like Hezbollah, Hamas, al Qaeda, et al. Nor will Appeasement work with Islamofascist nations such as Syria and Iran (I could include N. Korea, but those psychos are not in the Middle East).
