Interesting read...
...from National Review Online.
"The Brink of Madness
A familiar place."
By Victor Davis Hanson
An interesting comparison between our current international situation, and the situation as it existed prior to WWII...and some criticisms about cultural relativism.
ETA: And a reading recommendation, on similar topics mentioned in the article: Natural Right and History by Leo Strauss. Also, War: Ends and Means by Angelo Codevilla and Paul Seabury. The Strauss is a bit heavy, but the Codevilla-Seabury book is very readable.
