I'm angry with the Americans for being bystanders, but I'm also angry with the Europeans for this constant, odious braying about European civilizational values. The thing that Europe has done consistently since 1945, as it has lost its geostrategic power, is to say that it has gained "cultural and civilizational power." Well, whatever the European values are supposed to be about, they don't involve letting helpless children die in the waters in front of your borders. And it's that nauseating combination of a quarreling incapacity to fix things and the high-minded moral vocabulary being used -- that has got to stop.
