Europe looks down, shuffles feet

In today’s WashPost, Charles Krauthammer declares that there’s no refuge remaining for the Euro-left than shame:

Now that the real Arab street has risen to claim rights that the West takes for granted, the left takes note. It is forced to acknowledge that those brutish Americans led by their simpleton cowboy might have been right. It has no choice. It is shamed. A Lebanese, amid a sea of a million other Lebanese, raises a placard reading "Thank you, George W. Bush," and all that Euro-pretense, moral and intellectual, collapses.

Chirac has been quiet lately.
