Still, it seems to me the press remains largely free to cower or fight. If they are presently choosing the former it is because they think it is what the greater part of their fearful, western anti-western, or pacifist readers want. Not until we successfully challenge the west's dependence on the coca of contemporary white guilt liberalism will we be truly free again.
