To all our cousins in the UK, Americans wish you our sincerest wishes for the recovery of the wounded and our condolences to the families of the innocent victims.  I recommend to you the words of Winston S. Churchill:

 

"I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat . . . You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea, and air. War with
all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable
catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs - Victory in
spite of all terrors - Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."
- Winston Churchill
his initial speech as Prime Minister to the House of Commons (10 May 1940)

 

"Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization. upon it depends our own British life and the long continuity of our institutions . . . The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us now. . . he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age, made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will say, 'This was their finest hour.' "

- Winston Churchill
his speech as Prime Minister to the House of Commons (18 June 1940)

 

 

 

Thank you ! It's very re-assuring to be reminded that there are decent, civilised people out there. Happily most of my Countrymen are also decent and civilised but how can we ever trust any of these beasts, who claim to be British but only want to kill and maim the very people who have allowed them such priviledge and freedom.

Winston Churchill must be spinning in his grave ! How we need his Spirit, Courage and Determination now ! It was truly uplifting, yesterday, the way all the workers left their offices and stood in silence at 12.00 ( GMT+1 ). In London and most Towns & Cities here all the traffic stopped, as well. WE have been hurt and WE are angry.

All good wishes.

Winston S. Churchill was probably the most articulate statesman ever to grace two centuries (19th and 20th).  When I was growing up, I remember listening to his wartime speeches on a record I'd gotten from Time-Life books.  Even for a kid in 5th grade, his speeches were stirring.  They glowed with determination and resolve.

 

We need to put this politically correct nonsense in the trash and realize that we are fighting a monsterous enemy (Islam) that is as dangerous as our former Nazi German and Japanese warlord enemies.  No is not the time to go all wobbly and indulge in the "how can we understand them?" or "how can we make them love us?" nonsense.
