Savage said it best yesterday. If these bombers were in the US, they would have been beaten to death by US civilians. The Brits(Londoners) just stood around(with a stiff upper lip) and did nothing after their bombs fizzled.

If this happened in the suburbs of London, these bombers would have been killed by the Brits. Londoners are a lost liberal cause.

Really. All those bystanders and they just let them walk away? I realize the situation must have been chaotic, but found this really disturbing.

Actually I think they gave chase but he evaded them in one of the incidents. In another the witness thought he was a civilian innocent bystander. I would definitely blame that guy for being dumb and for not tackling him when he realized.

You like to paint with a wide brush, don't you?

Why is it that even with allies, victims, that conservatives always find a way to put others' down?

Of course we all fancy ourselves as brave, but Americans, even when they knew their man was a terrorist, allowed him to hold them hostage with box cutters. Savage can spare me his false bravado. Besides, I wouldn't tackle anyone if armed police were on the job.

Maybe in a Red state; but in a Blue?

An incredibly dumb post. I'm often embarrassed by what people say on FR, but seven years of experience here have taught me to keep my own counsel most of the time rather than get into meaningless dogfights with ignoramuses. In this case thoough, somebody has to step up and say your purblind, bigoted views have nothing to do with conservatism.

What is your definition of a Londonder? A true Londoner is full of grit and determination and what you have said here is offensive to them as a fellow Brit I think you should apologise for those comments.

Wow, SOME Americans not only live in stereotypes (stiff upper lip nonsense) but actually believe they are a superior species.

Is there anything SOME of you won't use to get a dig in at non-Americans?

Maybe I'm being unfair and it's just a human failing.
