Does Orange Juice Couse More Phlegm When Sick

In Europe, the regret turns into masochism


Daniel Pipes National Review Online April 27, 2010


"Nothing is more western hatred fed by the West." So wrote the French novelist and essayist Pascal Bruckner in his book The Tyranny of penance [in Italy published in 2007] NDT), well translated into English by Steven Rendall and recently published by Princeton University Press as "The Tyranny of Guilt: An Essay on Western Masochism. " "All modern thought," he adds, "can be reduced to mechanical complaints of the West, highlighting the hypocrisy, violence and the abomination of the latter."

Bruckner exaggerates, but not much.
He shows how Europeans see themselves as "the sick of the planet" which plague cause all sorts of problems in non-Western world (what he calls the South). When the white man set foot in Asia, Africa and America were followed by death, chaos and destruction. The Europeans feel born with the stigmata, "the white man has sown sorrow and destruction everywhere he went." Her pale skin is a sign of its imperfection ethics.
These provocative statements corroborate the brilliant polemics of Bruckner, arguing that the European remorse for the crimes of imperialism, fascism and racism is gripping the continent to the point of stifling creativity, destroying confidence in himself and exhaust his optimism.
Bruckner himself acknowledges the flaws of Europe, but also praised for its self-criticism: "There is no doubt that Europe has given birth to monsters, but at the same time it has produced theories through which we can understand and destroy these monsters. " He argues that the continent can only be a curse, for his lofty achievements complement his worst atrocities. This is what he calls "proof of magnificence."

Paradoxically, Europe is the same willingness to admit their own faults that leads to hatred of himself, because companies do not embark on such an introspection not rend. Europe's strength it is therefore his weakness. Although the continent has "more or less defeating the monsters" such as slavery, colonialism and fascism, it prefers to dwell on the worst of his work. That's why the volume entitled The Tyranny of Guilt. The past, with its violence and acts of aggression, is frozen in time, a burden that Europeans think they never shake off.
The South, by contrast, is considered to be perpetually innocent. Just as colonialism fades into the past, Europeans have reason to blame for the conditions of the people once colonized. Eternal treat childhood innocence means those who are not Western Europeans have the illusion of being the single adults, which is itself a form of racism. It offers a way to avoid criticism.

This explains why the Europeans are wondering what they "can do for the South rather than ask what the South can do for himself." It also explains why after the terrorist attacks in Madrid in 2004, one million Spaniards have demonstrated against the Islamist perpetrators, but against their own prime minister. Worse, this explains why they consider the English civil guilty "torn apart by steel and fire."
As demonstrated by the attack in Madrid and countless other acts of violence, Muslims tend to have more hostile attitudes toward the West and the Palestinians are considered the most hostile Muslims. The fact that the Palestinian conflict the Jews, victims of extreme ferocity Western perversely makes them an ideal vehicle to reject the Western sense of guilt. To make matters worse, even as the European Jews lay down their arms and take the sword brandished openly.
Europe absolves itself from the crimes against Jews, celebrating the Palestinians as victims, no matter how cruel they act, and depicting Israelis as Nazis of our day, no matter what their need for a self-defense. Therefore, the Palestinian issue "quietly returned to legitimize the hatred of Jews." The Europeans focus their attention on Israel with such enthusiasm that one might think that the fate of the planet will be decided "in a tiny stretch of land between Tel Aviv, Ramallah and Gaza."
And America? Just as Europe gets rid of the crime of the Holocaust by blaming Israel [so] get rid of the guilt of colonialism, blaming the United States. " Excommunicate young Americans allow Europe to show off. For its part, Bruckner rejects this easy way out and he admires the self-confidence and pride of Americans in the country. "While America claims, disputes Europe itself." The French author also notes that, in times of need, the sufferers of land invariably turn to the U.S. and the EU. For him, the States are "the last major Western nation."
Bruckner hopes that Europe and America work together again, because when they do, they "achieve wonderful results." But his own response highlights how unlikely it is that perspective.
