After America Get Ready for Armageddon
Now, he adds, America has caught up with Europe on the great rush to self-destruction. It¿s not just the looming financial collapse; it¿s not just a culture that seems on a fast track to perdition, full of hapless, indulgent, childish people who think government has the answer for every problem; it¿s not just America¿s potential eclipse as a world power because of the drunken sailor policymaking in Washington - no, it's all this and more that spells one word for America: Armageddon. America¿s decline won¿t be gradual, like an aging Europe sipping espresso at a café until extinction (and the odd Greek or Islamist riot). No, America¿s decline will be a wrenching affair marked by violence and possibly secession. With his trademark wit, Steyn delivers the depressing news with raw and unblinking honesty - but also with the touch of vaudeville stand-up and soft shoe that makes him the most entertaining, yet profound, columnist on the planet.
