Mark Steyn's column in yesterday's OpinionJournal is, as James Lileks puts it, "breathtakingly depressing." Steyn draws some logical conclusions based on indisputable facts, and the perceptive reader should be able to use them to cast some new light on the debate about immigration, legal and otherwise, among other things.

I recommend setting aside twenty minutes or so to read it. If you're in the US, you can then take a couple of seconds to comfort yourself that you're not living in, say, France, Spain or the Netherlands, but don't tarry too long in that state of mind. Denial, as they say, is not a river in Egypt, and Islamic fundamentalism is not something that's just going to affect countries "over there."
