Terry Mattingly asks if we thought we would ever see a news story like this, the attempted Swedish government shutdown of a website for supporting the publication of the Danish cartoons and calling for readers to send in their own. The answer is, yes, of course. The Swedish government’s action is unusually extreme even for Europe, but this is the continent that brought you the banning of the Vlaams Blok, the boycott of Austria, the assassination of Pim Fortuyn, the Stalinesque hysteria about Le Pen and the trial of Nick Griffin. I will believe just about anything is possible in Europe these days, and that includes believing that there might be Europeans who will finally find the resolve to resist this sort of petty tyranny.
