Coming to America

UK should not be discussing as if it does not like USA. If it feels strongly, there should be a closure of NATO and bring the troops back home and also bring the troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, so that the new superpowers can handle all the world issues. For a change, US can sit back and enjoy its own country.

In the first place, Britain is a founding member of NATO and the charter of NATO states that when one member is attacked, all NATO defends that fellow NATO member. The Islamist terrorist attack on the US homeland was co-ordinated, in great part. in Europe, and the last time I looked at a map, Britain is even closer to Europe than the World Trade Center. Had the US, UK and Europe joined forces and not sat on their hands after the Soviets were defeated in Afghanistan, the Taliban and Al Qaeda never would have ruled Afghanistan, never would have established Afghanistan as the global headquarters for Islamist terrorism, and there would be no need for anyone to post any comments, vice the terrorist threat from al Qaeda in Britain in 2008, which is just as real, just as deadly and just as much a threat to the survival of Britain as in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. When the jihadis who demand the extermination of Israel, the destruction of the US and UK, and the resurrection of the Caliphate stop preaching their litanies of hate from the Finsbury Park Mosque and other caldrons of Islamic fascism in London and throughout the UK, then the Britain will have a future free from fear and free from terror. Until then, the British government would be wise to hunt down every jihadi in the UK, prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law, and focus on striking and killing Islamist terrorists worldwide, at every opportunity.

In the first place, Britain should not have joined the US in combating terrorism because despite having a large number of Muslim population in the UK, there was no threat to the UK before 9/11. The stupid ex-prime minister (Blair) with some persuasion from the lobbyist, unnecessarily jeopardised the UK by jumping the gun and embraced Bush to "fight terrorism" and thus putting Britain in the line of fire and giving the excuse for the zealots to be the extremists. The UK has gained nothing so far but it has only become more vulnerable and lost many soldiers for NOTHING!

The British has always been very diplomatic and cordial when dealing with others especially on sensitive issues, but Blair had broken the tradition and the present generation is facing the repercussions.

The way the British government is acting now is more like an expected guest to the US. The US is just a big bully and the UK is befriending it and for what? The rest of the European countries are more cautious when dealing with the US, always keeping in mind their own interests and would not just be the eager US deputy. The UK is an eager US volunteer.
