I think the commentary on FR indicates that the average Brit, Canadia, Aussie, and Newzealander understands what we're facing.
That may be so. But it does not necessarily follow that the British, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand governments understand what we're facing.
It does seem that it is in the nature of Islam to manipulate weak, isolated, or popularity-hungry politicians. As a lowly seaman on the ship of state, I would hope our captain would recognize an iceberg when one is dead ahead.
But... but... but this is the forum where only the Bushbots and evil neocons get to have a say (so say some of our critics and clueless fellow citizens from the "hug-a-muslim" crowd of dhimmis at DU).
Hey, I guess it means we're either smarter, more informed... or both. ;o)
