Cui honorem, honorem! What I always liked the most demanded of the work of Peter Scholl-Latour. He reminds me more and more Thucydides the great realists among the ancient Greek historians. Peter Scholl-Latour is able to differentiate between breaking news and opinions, the habitual explanations, historical facts, geopolitical interests, good intentions and actually existing possibilities of action to identify precisely. He has perfected his method of observing political constellations in their socio-political and historical context. In recent years I noticed that Mr. Scholl-Latour increasingly difficult for the superficial rhetoric of his party to accept. He is less willing platitudes thought patterns of do-gooders and other rampant naivete of our information age, the only hide the lack of thinking, in the room without comment let stand as an equivalent expression. He has to fight one of the few have the courage to open the right thoughts and flare up an opposition to That can irritate the majority of speakers, because it speaks of a fixed position, must have acquired a spirit of power and sovereignty, the first of a long preparation and practice of thinking. Most of his discussion partners not even imagine the serious consequences it can have when armed only with good intentions into political discussions go in, that even the mere ignoring the reality can be fatal. He sees himself surrounded by increasingly political dilettantes, losing more and more the countenance and rightly so!
I suspect by his observation of the different political systems in the world, he looks closely and with horror how the self-congratulation, der Selbstbetrug der westlichen Demokratien und insbesondere derjenigen auf dem europäischen Kontinent (mit Ausnahme Frankreichs vielleicht) schon fortgeschritten ist und wie dilettantisch selbst das Führungspersonal unserer Staaten international agiert.
