#2 The recent Australian election may too have been a factor.

#3 For some reason this came across something like Tokyo Rose: "Surrender, British soldiers! The war is over for you! Put down your weapons and turn yourself over to the victorious Japanese army! You will be treated fairly!..."

#4 Sounds like a lot of wishful thinking.

#5 Anonymoose - you got that right.

I think at some point the British people will rise up against the threat posed to them by their corrupt government and Muslim terrorists No, really - I believe that. It is in their blood.

I'm not sure what form it will take. Maybe gangs, maybe a general revolution. Sadly, I think it will be a bloody one. But I think it is building and we will see it within the next 7 years. Maybe more, maybe less. But the British were born with spine, it takes more than a generation or two for Darwin to turn vertibrates into invertibrates.

#6 Hopefully, Whom. But, I fear the nanny stating and liberal thinking have finished off what was left of the empire.

#7 There is no indication the British are not happy with the government they elected and they are being presented with no alternative other than me-too-but-less-corrupt. Very sad.

#8 Unless you look at the non-city dwellers, where hunting and shooting sounds like it is on the upswing.

#9 It is pretty sad when the only hope of saving the nation lies with football hooligans.

#10 The British signed up to remove Saddam and to fight Al Queda. That mission is over. The Basra region is growing into a power struggle between Shia Groups which is what the Brits are now facing and it's not really their business. They probably should pull out while things are looking somewhat bright.

#11 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have a vivid memory of American boyz (read men) lining up to volunteer to fight with/for Canada AND the UK when Hitler turned his attention on the Brits.

Is that not true? Is that memory a figment of my imagination?

So Balless Brown sayeth the war is over...you've won. Come home. Okay...so sayteh Brown.

Maybe, just maybe, there are Brit warriors and Canadian warriors and Aussie warriors that say...BS...the fight is NOT over...the war has NOT been won: Were do WE warriors sign up the the Yanks to continue the fight. I'm thinking this would be a damn good way to get some people out of the UK well in advance of the civil war they might fight one one. I say MIGHT, because I have no confidence that the Brit gov't will fight when the time comes...which is to say when their muslim overlords rear their ugly f*ckin' heads and take over the entire island in the name of allah. spit.

God help you in the UK. I'm teaching my children TODAY that they do not vote to help the people of Europe down the road. Why? Because you don't deserve to have American blood spilled again on your soil to bail you out of a situation of your own making and a situation you failed to address when you had the chance.

#12 Happy Christmas War is Over is a sappy crappy old John Lennon song moldie oldie DJ dredge up this time of year.

As to the question should America ever waste blood toil and tears on old Europe, we tend to regard Europe as an idiot brother-in-law that we continue to feel obligated to bail out even though we have no good reason to.
