Plagerize away...I am more interested in delivering a message than in getting credit.

That is exactly my thoughts. The so called pacifists who want us to follow a course of appeasment have a different agenda in mind. IN the end the WILL be a clash between east and west, It is completely unavoidable. As a stated we havent really developed that far. I believe that alot of our so called "civilization" is exactly what it was during the Roman age. An anomolous age and lurking just below the surface is barbarism. The East for the most part embraces that Barbarism. The West does not. In the end though if we want to Protect and preserve that "civilized" candy coating to the world. We are going to have to accept some hard facts...not the least of which is that despite all of the John Lenin Diplomacy Majors holding hands and singing songs will NOT resolve our differences. There are monsters under the proverbial bed. One day they WILL come out to get us.

Funny thing is I thought THAT was the lesson of Sept 11. Oh silly me.

I'd rather go it alone, too.

I would end that War in less than 24 hours.

,,, yes, the Soviets suffered monumental losses in WWII. The Yanks threw in lives, hardware and money into helping the UK save itself. The timing of their entry point isn't really that important. The Polish, Canadians, Aussies and New Zealanders turned up too. New Zealand and Australia fed Britain during WWII and now Britain takes it orders from Brussels and has middle eastern banks in the main streets of London. Your motor industries have been bought and sold by euros you fought just over fifty years ago and your fishing fleets don't move unless it's OK with one of the EU councils. You're talking along the lines of Britain still being Britain. You can't do that - you're part of the EU. You're owned now.

As for Berlusconi, wasn't he voted in?

Your understanding of history is almost painfully inept.

I see though that you have been studying your good old european revisionism of the past fifty years. It was Americas involment in the war that killed Germanies advancments into Russia. (Not to mention volunteer American Fighter pilots that helped protect your country during the Battle for Britain before we even entered the war.) We cut off oil by kicking him out of Africa (something that Monty couldnt manage to do until America came along to help.) And ultimately we forced Hitler to divide his forces. After the Brits got penned in on England there was little to no resistance on the european continent until America came into the war. And contrary to your rediculous claim there is ample evidence the Hitler had every intention of getting around to conquering England as well...or what do you think Operation Sea Lion was all about.

The defeat of the Luftwaffe over Britain did nothing more than delay the plans or do you think that someone like Hitler just decides to go away when you punch him in the nose. Hitler wasnt a bully he was a madman whose ambition was global domination. Not Global Domination expcept for the brits because they shoot down my planes.

As for the rest of your words It is those very words that exemplify my point. You are an ungrateful nation subverted by America hating socialists. You think we owe you something when it is we who have lost millions of lives twice fighting against you as you tried to conquer us and then again as we fought for you in two European Wars that wouldnt have even happened if you people would pull your heads out of your backends and see the writing on the wall.

You have proved my point more eloquently then I could ever imagine. You arent our allies and you arent our friends. We dont need you and we should let the muslims over run you. But of course we wont. We will drag you kicking and screaming while once again we do what needs to be done because you dont have either the guts or the brains to do it yourself.

Unless of course our own leadership proves itself to be as inept and spineless as the rest of the worlds...in which case we will sit and wait until the next attack...Then its no holds barred and damn people like you for making it necessary.

Oh and as for Tony Blair...at least there is one Englishmen worth his salt.

Pry.....

Very well written

You can tell from the posts just who has a guilty conscience. Neville Chamberlain is alive and well, living in Britain. When we go down, Britain will be no more. What a shame, several generations of cowards.

The Soviets are the ones who can take credit for turning the tide in World War II.

I don't know about that, but they sure can take credit for starting WWII when they invaded Poland right along with the Nazis. Stalin bears as much responsiblity as Hitler for all of the lives lost.

"The United Nations is trying to turn us into it bank"

All Your Bank Are Belong to Us!

"Consider this the next time you read an article talking about how this country or that country is apposed to us going into Iraq."

All Your Spell Checker Are Belong to Us!

Our "friends" threaten to alienate us if we don't turn over our resources, sovereignty, wealth, and power to them via the U.N.

This leaves us, if our politicians are honest, in a precarious postition, pull out of the U.N. and have no influence, or hang around being bled by them. Some friends, we have always been alone, I just can't believe this is just now being figgured out.

We have been alone for quite some time...IMHO twenty-thirty years now.

Well, with the exception of the Israelis.

The bulk of the planets people resent our prosperity and lack the humility to admit that nine times out of ten...we are right.

It is a visceral hate...it will only get stronger as human reasoning gets more wicked.

But in the end...no matter what...truth wins.

Get a DVD of John Milius' wonderful The Wind and the Lion and cue to TR's (Brian Keith) conversation with reporters while on a hunting trip in Yellowstone. Capturing TR's spirit the screenwriter explains that America may be respected, possibly feared, but never loved because we have too much audacity. And like the Grizzly we'll live out our time alone.

As Americans once we can accept the truth of our situation in this world we can remember the words of another lesser regarded American President, Jerry Ford, whose speechwriters on the BiCentennial gave him a wonderful truth about this nation, its people and its history. "The rest of the world may or may not follow, but we lead because the whole course of our history says that we must!"

Blair, in his wisdom, will support the US war on Iraq because he wants to be on the right side of history. (The Middle East is certainly part of England's colonial past...Balfour Agreement...yadda yadda) When Saddam goes down and the US along with Britain, Turkey, Australia, and Russia install some form of provisional government they will have access to oil and they will be able to put pressure on Iran and Syria to stop funding terrorism. This tactic is the only possible method of resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict since the Israelis aren't planning to disappear.

BTW Anyone with half a brain knows that the UN and the EU are corrupt, highly politicized organizations that are about money--plain and simple. Why did the EU decide to continue giving Arafat $10 million a month after the Israelis proved he'd been stealing billions?

Lastly...Every country in the world resents American wealth and wants to control it but... Did you know that most Americans work more than 40 hours a week with only 2 weeks off in the summer? We work hard for our money. We earn our prosperity. We resent other countries telling us how to spend it. Europe would be well advised to back off their descent into socialism and to close their borders to Islamic maniacs instead of lecturing America. Feel free to hate us or resent us but stop telling us that we're stupid when we say 'Sod off'. Please.

I still think you contribute to weakening your gene pool when you hit your child, admittedly, REPEATEDLY.....IN FRONT OF YOUR BOSS IN FROM OUT OF TOWN...just because she undid her seatbelt.

It would show me that you were prone to be a follower instead of a thinker. It would show me that you handle personal stress (your fear of losing your child...by striking it, "repeatedly....in front of your boss....pulling your car over the side of the highway...possibly causing danger to innocent bystanders, just so you could whack your kid.

You've lost this argument with me. Let's just agree to disagree. You raise your children the way you want to. I have no problem with that.

But I would find a replacement the first chance I had. Sorry.
