A Non-Binding Surrender.

I don't have too many words to say about this, other than I see it as just another nail in the coffin of Western Civ. While researching for the post below, I came across two Chip Bok cartoons that said it as well as anyone could:

The Senate gets its chance tomorrow.

And I'm reminded once again of an Alexander Solzhenitzyn quote:

In a state of psychological weakness, weapons become a burden for the capitulating side. To defend oneself, one must also be ready to die; there is little such readiness in a society raised in the cult of material well-being. Nothing is left, then, but concessions, attempts to gain time and betrayal.

(*sigh*)

I'm going to bed.
