Putting in an early bid for the "putting the parodists out of business" blog post of the year award comes this entry from Melanie Phillips, decrying the west's recognition of Kosovo's independence. The money quote comes in the very first sentence:
The decision by Britain, America and certain other European countries to recognise Kosovo as an independent state is mind-blowingly stupid and suicidal and of a piece with their obvious determination to capitulate in the war for civilisation. … but the rest's not half bad either.
