I could write a book on our frustration in literally hundreds of meetings with European leaders who, however otherwise well intentioned, refused to grasp the problem staring them -- the anti-Semitic problem staring them in the face, they ducked it they avoided it ... and now 15 years later the problem is so big and so deadly and so rooted that it's going to take a lot more than one eloquent speech by a president or a prime minister.
