Whatever Happened to the Stalwart Brits of Fame and Legend?
Stiff upper lip and all that? Not so much anymore… The sun has set on the mighty British Empire and out of the ashes rises not a phoenix, but rather a whiny, politically correct weasel.
This from the Guardian:
Counter-terrorism officials are rethinking their approach to tackling the radicalisation of Muslim youth, abandoning what they admit has been offensive and inappropriate language. They say the term “war on terror” will no longer be heard from ministers. Instead, they will use less emotive language, emphasising the criminal nature of the plots and conspiracies. The government in future, they add, will talk of a “struggle” against extremist ideology, rather than a “battle”.
A “struggle”? What? Do these people not remember the London Tube Bombings?
Why not call it a Jihad, maybe that will win “Hearts and Minds”…
Well, it is sadly obvious that the England of Churchill is dead. These Brits have flagged and failed. They no longer have the heart to “go on to the end” to “Fight them on the beaches”. Rather than the beacon of courage and of leadership that Churchill provided, today we are left with a UK that is sadly, apparently, just not up to the fight.The change in approach by counter-terrorism officials is part of plans by the government’s Research, Information, and Communications Unit to counter al-Qaida propaganda and win hearts and minds. In WWII, the British understood that, “When you have them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.” But, then I guess it isn’t merely a British problem… Far too many American politicians don’t understand, either.
They think that this is a problem that can be bested in conference rooms, by negotiations with reasonable men. That, would we just give “a little”, there really could be “Peace in our time.” Folks, I’m here to tell you, Chamberlain was dead wrong. There will not be peace in our time if we negotiate rather than fight. We don’t have time for a second “Phony War”, we need leaders with the guts, the intestinal fortitude, hell, the balls to fight these terrorists abroad before anymore buildings fall in this country, before something worse happens.
We cannot allow border security to be laughed off as anti-Mexican bias, as bad as illegal immigration is, terrorism is much worse. We don’t want suicide bombers in our clubs and malls. But, I am increasingly afraid it will take another terrorist attack on American soil for some to grasp the simple fact that the terrorists will remain at war with us until one of two things happen; we can either capitulate to their abhorrent demands, or we can treat them as the enemy they are and wipe them out.
One of the greatest missteps in the Vietnam War, was the gross underestimation of the enemy’s capabilities, the idea that people without the vast technological prowess of the US, were no danger to us was disproved time and again, and yet, some still won’t see it.
