Imagine there was some real leadership today!

Self-Righteousness of the Self-Indulgent Self-Involved Chicken Littles.
Just a phony "peace symbol" makes an east "bullseye" on all these fools. m/r

Imagine There's No ...Imagination :: SteynOnline

My friend Ezra Levant reports from Paris:
France has developed a tolerance for terrorism. They accept terrorist violence as the new normal. They're numb to it now.

Here's proof. In January of this year, Muslim terrorists launched a series of five attacks that killed 17 people across Paris, including 12 at the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. That led to a massive solidarity march through Paris, with millions of people — including many foreign leaders — swearing it would never happen again.

But it did happen again, ten times worse...
But there's no massive march this time, no stream of foreign leaders coming to pay their respects. And even at the actual site of the massacre, the mood was subdued. As you can see in my video reports, there were a few hundred people milling around, but there was no resolve, no conviction, no purpose. Outside Bataclan, a street performer set up to entertain the crowd — and no-one seemed to find it inappropriate.
I hope Ezra's wrong, but as I wrote four months ago:
So the cowardly and evasive "support" the world showed after January's bloodbath was a very clear lesson to the survivors in the limits of global solidarity - and how it will go next time: We'll be sad when you die, too!(Although probably not quite as sad and not in as many numbers, because, like, been there, done that.)
(I believe I said something similar in my speech in the Danish Parliament a few weeks back.)
Our world seems atrophied. Kathy Shaidle describes the scene at top right as "why Paris is doomed, in one image": a man drags his piano, decorated by a "peace" symbol, by bicycle to the Bataclan theatre, and proceeds to play John Lennon's "Imagine".
