| #12 If anyone here has free time - an near impossibility these days - I would recommend use of Google's book download facility. They have copied almost 200,000 non-copyright protected books, most of which have sat unused in library crawlspace for decades. If you want to learn of the depthless depravity of Islam, search "Gordon" "Soudan," for classics works on the Mahdi revolt of the late 19th century. British imperial troops and Egyptian allies marched against what they thought was a tiny insurgency led by a Koranimal who thought he was the "messiah" in pursuit of the anti-Christ (Western leaders). As they approached, the entire allied army was massacred. Response? They played the "islam is peace" card, and conducted delicate sweeps of the genocidal maniacs, delivering power to so called moderate islamutts in the process. Then they called what amounted to a status quo ante - less only the "messiah" - a great victory. Even a quick scan of some of the material will convince anyone with an open mind that we cannot appease the viral ancesters of these savages. We have to hit them until they have nothing to hit back with. Mohammad ("mahdi") Ali = Osama bin Laden |

| #11 Live Free or Die. I always thought that was very American until I saw 300. You just can't kill a good idea. |

| #9 When Britain first at Heav'n's command Arose from out the azure main; This was the charter of the land, And guardian angels sang this strain; Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves: Britons never will be slaves. The nations not so blest as thee, Shall in their turns to tyrants fall; While thou shalt flourish great and free, The dread and envy of them all. Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves: Britons never will be slaves. Still mor majestic shalt thou rise, More dreadful from each foreign stroke; As the loud blast that tears the skies, Serves but to root thy native oak. Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves: Britons never will be slaves. Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame, All their attempts to bend thee down Will but arouse thy generous flame; But work their woe, and thy renown. Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves: Britons never will be slaves. To thee belongs the rural reign; They cities shall with commerce shine; All thine shall be the subject main, And every shore it circles thine. Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves: Britons never will be slaves. The Muses, still with freedom found, Shall to thy happy coast repair; Blest Isle! With matchless beauty crowned, And manly hearts to juide the fair. Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves: Britons never will be slaves. |

| #8 It all comes from being on the military dole since '45. It should be a wake up call, but the arrogant ‘moral’ intellectual bankrupt governing class would rather shift the chairs on the deck of the Titanic rather than acknowledge that they’ve buried Western European Civilization. Tack on the cesspool hatred of their protector for nearly fifty years, and they’ve even achieved the ability to alienate the sole means to save their collective asses and buy them a little more time. Life is tough. It’s a lot tougher if you’re stupid. The Brits purchased cruise missiles. Small kilotonnage yields about five miles above Tehran and Qum at 4 o’clock in the morning as the one and only warning would of course get quick results. They have the means. However, the parties to be have already surrendered by lacking not only the will, but the perception of even having the will. And the barbarian knows it. |

| #7 That last line Mac if true, is a damn sad story. |

| #6 Sneaze, I was in Canada when that happened. IIRC, she was a reporter who was first brutally raped then beaten to death. The Canadians we met who knew about it were all very unhappy. I remember one of them saying that not only could Canada not help us in Iraq, she couldn't even help her own citizens overseas because she simply didn't have the military force to do so. A number of people also told me that Chretien would have been better off telling the world that he would have helped in Iraq if Canada had possessed the troops to do so but that the cupboard was bare. In that person's opinion, Chretien took the anti-war stance simply out of embarrassment at not being able to help. |

| #5 True, Basij elements murdered a female activist of Iranian descent, who had attained Canadian citizenship, and Canada could do nothing but make diplomatic protests. The choice: Team America or Palookaville. |

| #4 It appears as though, without any American help, Britain is going to have to suck hind tit. No way to put boots on the ground, no navy to enforce a blockade, no spine to simply bomb out key infrastructure. Hit their refineries and Iran's tune will change in a heartbeat. The article even makes mention of them. Why is this being treated as such an obscure point? |

| #3 JM: Many Amers also doubted Britain's ability during the FALKLANDS Crisis but Britain did her thingy anyway. With a lot of American help in logistics and surveillance. We could have staged Iraqi Freedom without them. They couldn't have staged the Falklands without us. |

| #1 Many Amers also doubted Britain's ability during the FALKLANDS Crisis but Britain did her thingy anyway. In any case, in a democracy the people get the kind of Govt. they want, i.e. are ultimately responsible for the strengths or wekanesses of said governance. Govt. is supposed to be reflection of the society being governed, correct? |
