Just check out the "Fitna" video on LiveLeak or the link to it on GrouchyOldCripple.com.

YouTube chickened out...

Fitna has been removed because of terrorist threats.

If you are confused about why Labour does what they do, for one moment, consider that Labour are enemies of the state. Then it all makes perfect sense.

When we catch one of these Bastards in the USA we put them in jail or take them out of US property So we can "ask" them questions and it will be years before a trial if ever. At 3 1/2 years he wont even have a lawyer.
In the UK you catch one and they are given a 3 1/2 year sentence. But are out to do it again or worse before 1 year is up. Your Judges need to learn how to count.

With regard to the anonymouse comment above, we in Britain have known about terrorists for years; when IRA bombs were killing us New York Firemen still put money in Noraid collecting tins, so no advice on Wild West lynch law is needed thank you. Read what Senator McCain thinks about torturing prisoners. America has the two most powerful weapons against intolerance: democracy and the rule of law. They helped win WW2 and the Cold War, but by rejecting humanity and choosing brutality as a war-fighting strategy the West is weakened.
God Bless America, Home of the Free

Yes, God forbid we should fight a war with brutality! We should wage war with happy thoughts. You know, have our enemies over for tea and biscuits while we chat them up, that sort of thing. There’s absolutely nothing naïve about letting your blood soaked, sworn enemy walk away to fight another day. He’ll learn to love you for it. I’m sure history is filled with that kind of happy ending.

Holy cow! I know why cowards spew this crap after writing that last paragraph. I feel absolutely morally superior to everyone. I’m going to start writing pretentious nonsense with bits like “rejecting humanity” and “choosing brutality as a war-fighting strategy”. Who cares if it makes no sense in the real world? I feel absolutely grand! I’m on the peace train… Oh wait! Cat Stevens wants to kill us now, too. That guy! He’s quite the kidder. What he needs is a group hug.

Thanks, gallimmmsfry! I’ve seen the light...

Well, don't forget to switch the light out after you've nuked the world.
The Nazis would do things quickly and efficiently with genocide. Problem solved. Er, didn't our Grandparents win a world war against their foul creed?
Ooh, scrap the Geneva Convention as well as it cramps your style.

Mr Bud,the West's unique selling point, its advantage, is democracy and the rule of law. I am sure you will agree that it is better to fight with your own weapons than take up the unfamiliar ones of ones enemy. Brute force has a role to play but the intelligent use of that force gains the advantage. By identifying the enemy's weaknesses and concentrating one's attack against those points one succeeds. Not all battles need to be fought as Gen MacArthur taught. A strategy of manoeuvre, isolating threats is more effective than endless frontal assaults. It makes rotten war films though.
Two examples, the Ghurkas and the South Africans, might help illustrate my argument of intelligent warfighting. After a war with Nepal, Nepal remained an independent kingdom and Ghurkas were recruited to be among the bravest and proudest of the British Army. Likewise after the 2nd Boer War, South Africans fought in WW1. At Delville Wood nearly 3,200 were reduced to 142 in a matter of days. Why did they fight so hard and bravely for a country they had been fighting against 13 years earlier?

Dear Anonymous 29 March 2008 10:32,

Do you use a slippery slope approach in all of your arguments? I hardly see how you can get out of bed in the morning. It must be terrifying for you.

Also, you might like to note where I wrote of a sense of moral superiority as well as looking up Godwin’s Law and then have a good look in the mirror.

There’s a learning curve when sending a conventional military against a decentralized enemy with no clear chain of command. Iraq and Afghanistan are training grounds for a military equipping itself to face that enemy.

We agree in this: “Brute force has a role to play but the intelligent use of that force gains the advantage. By identifying the enemy's weaknesses and concentrating one's attack against those points one succeeds.”

We need to develop the necessary intelligence in Iraq and use it to kill our enemies.

Mr Bud, with respect, killing our enemies is not a sustainable strategy given the higher birth rates in Muslim countries.
What has succeeded is the surge strategy in Iraq and the co-opting of Sunni tribal militias to fight against Al-Quaeda developed by Gen Petraeus. It is this intelligent use of all resources to achieve peace that should be copied. Is it not better in the long run to convince your enemy to lay down his weapons than kill him?
As an overall strategy may I suggest the Sermon on the Mount?
