Victor Davis Hanson is a “classicist,” a scholar of ancient Greek and Latin and of ancient European history. During the last four decades Hanson has built a solid reputation as a writer who views American politics with a strong sense of history. Although he is sometimes called a “conservative,” Hanson would be more accurately described as a classic “19th century liberal.”

One of our readers brought the article below to our attention. It was published a couple of weeks ago in the Swiss weekly magazine, “Die Weltwoche.” Our more sharp-eyed readers may have to ignore a few grammatical glitches likely resulting from English to German to English translations.
