Ace, we know the Brits have balls. That's what makes it funny. Relax dude.

Is someone really bitching about it?

Ban em.

Never occured to me to take it as anything other than a shot at the al quisling crowd. Perhaps it would have been clearer if at the top a few msm names - Fisk, linda foley etc. could have been included?

No one's complained. But, I'm just thinking what my reaction would have been had a Brit written a humor piece on the day of 9-11 suggesting, even accidentally, some defect in the American character.

I guess I don't have to wonder too much; those sorts of pieces appeared within days.

And I didn't like it.

So, I'm just clarifying.

"I'd link it, but then, you wouldn't have a reason to click on the link."

Yeah, it's a nice graphic. Nice sentiment. But it seems like that's pretty much all it's going to be, if even that - take a good long look at this, over on Powerline.

I feel bad about the dead and the wounded. They didn't deserve this. But I'm not going into tizzies about how brave the British are and how wonderful it'll be to finally, finally have them on our side. Doesn't look like they're even on their own side yet. And, frankly, I've seen enough of these false starts to get excited.

eh- since when do you care about offending anyone? Are you going soft, Ace?

Nice picture... but he forgot the Southern Cross.

Ace, it's hilarious. I didn't think I'd laugh today. Thanks.

Meh, I'm British, and I thought it was funny. Who are you making fun of? The apologists?

In the words of Daily Q'os, 'Screw Em'.

Trust me, Brits like nothing better than a laugh (and a few beers) at a time like this.

As for the Powerline post, consider this,

London is an extremely diverse place. They voted Red Ken in twice. He put in the scheme where you have to pay to take your car in to London, and is now talking about rationing water there. He's called 'Red' because of his politics, and he still got elected Mayor. It's also the most expensive place to live and contains a most diverse population, many of which are muslim.
He's also pretty popular with his muslim constituents

Bombing London is like bombing LA or San Francisco or New York (after 9/11). I'm sure there would be plenty of people there willing to say it was Bush's fault.
(heh wonder if all places that are expensive as hell, overrun with the homeless and have high taxes are liberal havens)

Rest assured there are plenty of people pissed off about this. Unfortunately, they don't have the media with an agenda and an axe to grind on their side.

I hope you're right.
