Continued elsewhere

I've decided to abandon this blog in favor of a newer, more experimental hypertext form of writing. Come over and see the new place.

Waffles

If fucking Belgium can't manage to resolve its ethnic tensions, how in the world can anybody expect it to happen in Iraq, where they don't have a long tradition of chocolate, waffles, and weird paintings to stabilize the place?

There's been absolutely no mention of this in the US press as far as I can tell, but here's some reportage.

Paul Belien is from around there, though I don't know if he's Francophone or Flemish. He's written a book called A Throne in Brussels and has a website called the Brussels Journal which cover such things. He is something like the Lawrence Auster of western continental europe, though I have to admit I haven't read all that much by him or nearly as much Auster as Mencius Moldbug has.
