My dad was a British citizen who grew up here from the time he was about 6 years old. He was naturalized in time to join the US Army at the start of WW II. This reaction would be typical of him, with one exception. He frowned on swearing. I can count on one hand the number of times I ever heard him say anything like, "Damn!" The F-word was right out. But his was a cold fury when provoked...and that's a legacy his former countrymen brought to the New World those many years ago.... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/07/the_blitz_redux_on_a_very_small_scale.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/07/the_blitz_redux_on_a_very_small_scale.html Thu, 07 Jul 2005 15:52:46 -0600 Where is Jan Sobieski, now that we really need him? Yah, I know, several hundred years dead, but we shore need somebody right similar. I swear, I'm inclining more and more to the school of thought which believes that there is too much sand in Arabia, and not enough trinitite. Oh, and Mohammed was a famous paedophile. (Though Ayesha was the only person ever able to talk any sense into him) http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/07/the_blitz_redux_on_a_very_small_scale.html#comment-28756 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/07/the_blitz_redux_on_a_very_small_scale.html#comment-28756 Fri, 08 Jul 2005 00:36:19 -0600 My first thought was to pray for the casualties and their families. My second was, "Will this wake anyone up to how important fighting these people is?" How much worse would this have been if Wahabism's most elite terrorists weren't trying to blow up professional soldiers in Iraq? I suspect the answer is quite a lot - and further away from the Muslim sections of London. HELLO!!!We need to get real and get real now. Get the word to Gitmo: Take away the Korans; take down the signs pointing to Mecca (surely by now they've memorized it anyway; make them eat MRE's instead of freshly prepared meals; make them as uncomfortable as you can without resorting to real torture (like that endured in the Hanoi Hilton). They won't die, they just won't be happy. But then again, they aren't going to be happy until we're all dead, are they? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/07/the_blitz_redux_on_a_very_small_scale.html#comment-28753 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/07/the_blitz_redux_on_a_very_small_scale.html#comment-28753 Thu, 07 Jul 2005 22:14:00 -0600 said this AM, WTF were these idjits thinking?? ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/07/the_blitz_redux_on_a_very_small_scale.html#comment-28751 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/07/the_blitz_redux_on_a_very_small_scale.html#comment-28751 Thu, 07 Jul 2005 20:36:14 -0600 plenty of more appropriate pieces to suit the job ;)]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/07/the_blitz_redux_on_a_very_small_scale.html#comment-28750 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/07/the_blitz_redux_on_a_very_small_scale.html#comment-28750 Thu, 07 Jul 2005 19:20:09 -0600 Now now.. we must give the culture of our terrorist foe the proper respect it deserves...

Funny. That was precisely my reaction. The answer is a bit scary to contemplate, though.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/07/the_blitz_redux_on_a_very_small_scale.html#comment-28744 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/07/the_blitz_redux_on_a_very_small_scale.html#comment-28744 Thu, 07 Jul 2005 17:37:46 -0600
