Lol, Colin. Actually I ran asunder with that one elsewhere, whereas someone thought I was saying "waiting for god" which then led to a very strange conversation, and one that I wouldn't want to repeat. So in case anyone was thinking of getting into it, the answer is "no comment"!
Immediately following the invasion of Kuwait, I clearly recall Bush # 1 saying that he would have to think about what to do. The next day Margaret Thatcher came and had lunch with him.Bush # 1 came out of that Thatcher Lunch calling for immediate mobilization to "save" the house of Saud from "the Iraqi threat".That Thatcher "lunch" engendered the bodies leaping from the world trade center flames , 57,614 American dead and wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan, untold innocent civilian casualties and trillions of dollars wasted. All because Margaret Thatcher got America to fight Britain's war for it.True or not, that is what springs to the American mind when an insolent twit says in this forum. "God help America."I say again. Is that good for Britain? Do you really need to show the raddled face beneath Britain's mask like this with your government money?I looked on the web site for that British food bank. They tell of people having to beg a tin of soup from the neighbors so they could feed their 18 month old kid. Does this forum need to beg in the streets?I say again, Is this what you want to buy here -- a bully pulpit for this too common kind of insufferably insulting British jingoism?What right do I have to come here and tell you this? The blood of 57,614 Americans - in this century alone - has paid for it.Careful with yer soup there, I wouldn't want you to burn your tongue.
