**“Who are we? What are we?” These were cries of ancient peoples of conquered cities. With the loss of their city, a people would lose their identity and pass out of history.

A similar deracination is occurring today in the U.S. and the U.K. The difference is that Americans and the British are giving away their identity piecemeal. The conquest these countries are undergoing does not produce the trauma and anguish of falling to a conqueror in war.

Indeed, many in the U.S. and U.K. see their loss of cultural identity as progress toward a multicultural nirvana.

Nation states, sacrificed to “diversity,” are ceasing to exist. Paradoxically, the amalgamation of cultures destroys diversity, leaving everyone rootless, undefined. Force is the only way to rule a collection of dissimilar cultures or a deracinated mass.

Even as they seek to impose democracy on a Muslim Middle East, the two great democracies move toward self-destruction. **
