Either start the hard work of cleaning out the country now or die of a thousand cuts. This is how terrorism works: either by the people judging that the above "hard work" is too hard and not doing it, or by overreacting and giving the terrorists' interests more political ammo.

Don't see much of the latter but you do see a fuckload of the former.

Saw this expressed on JeffG's site: what are the chances we roll back the Patriot Act now? Huh? Huh?

They'll buckle. They'll feed Blair a bucket of fucking shit for this. The Daily Mirror probably has a "Tony, What Hath Thou Wrought?" front page in the works as we speak.

They're not going to pull out of Iraq so long as Blair is PM, but watch and see. He'll be blamed.

Trust the good old BBC to make a documentary discussing how terrorism in the west is a 'fantasy'

This was shown last year, and again in January this year. Maybe they'll show it again.

Of course they'll howl and blame Blair. After the Madrid bombings I could not bear to express any sympathies because I knew any second the other shoe would drop and they would all be blaming the US.

I know that most Brits won't feel that way, but again, it seems the majoriy of the British on the internet are left wink whackos and I can not say anything remotely sympathetic to them.

I think the references to the Blitzkrieg (and the IRA for that matter) in speaking about the resolve of the Brits is wishful thinking.

9/11 was less than four fucking years ago, and amnesia has reached near-epidemic proportions on the left.

The people opposing Blair and/or the GWOT don't remember (or care about?) the Blitz.

If anything, they see Blair and Bush as a modern-day Hitler and Mussolini.

Yes, I know what you mean. I was reading through my gamer's forums and ran across this:

"FUCK ALL YOU AMERICANS WHO SUPPORT THIS WAR ON TERROR. LOOK WHAT YOU'VE FUCKING CAUSED IN MY COUNTRY FOR YOUR WAR ON OIL.

FUCK THIS SHIT.

HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY NOW. "

I was quite amazed at how restrained the replies were.

You may find it interesting to take a look at some information about prescription .
