I’d say that Americans are pretty resilient. Our ancestors left that HELL HOLE the United Kingdom for a better life in America. It was not an easy trip and America was completely unknown and most had nothing but after a couple of generations, prospered.
Yes, Americans were resilient. Lets hope that we don’t forget.
Maybe we should have been more subdued in our reaction in the mid 1940’s...
I’d love to ask her to remind us which car bomb killed 3,000 people and how the folks in the faculty lounge reacted to that event.
In fact, the IRA’s total slaughter spread over 40 years was only half the death toll of 9/11. If the whole history of IRA terrorism since 1969 were doubled and compressed into a single day in the middle of London I doubt she’s be winging about English “overreactions”.

She looks like she's got 9 front teeth.
Yes, I guess it depends on how you define “overreaction”. The Brits let Northern Ireland fester, for, oh 75 years or so. If you like protracted wars as a sign of “resilience”, well good for the Brits. The last time we were so heinously attacked was Dec 7, 1941. After rounding up Japanese Americans, dispossessing them and putting them in internment camps, we paid Japan back by burning every major city there to ashes and installing a second sun in the sky over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They started it, we ended it. Took the vinegar out of them, eh what? Turned Japan into a peace-loving country in the process. Compared to Pearl Harbor, I’d say we’ve mellowed a bit when responding to 9/11
I think she may be using teeth for brains
Britain is well on the way to overtaking the French for the title of:
WORLDS FOREMOST SURRENDER MONKEYS!!!
I stayed in this Hotel a week before this incident Docklands bombing
They never pursued the IRA into Eire when they were using it as a safe haven and then after the bombing campaign died down they made Martin McGuiness, a murderer, the education secretary and never prosecuted Gerry Adams who authorized the murder of a woman in Northern Ireland.
Resilient my *ss
‘overreacted’?
Ha!
If I’d been in charge of the response, these nancies would still be soiling their panties.
Actually, by British standards she is extremely attarctive to the opposite sex, whichever that may be.
I'm instantly reminded of the Joan Rivers bit where she makes horse teeth and says all British talk sounds like "faw, faw, faw".
She looks like a character straight out of “Monty Python”
“be like other countries...allowibg terrorists to blow stuff up..”
Sounds like Baltimore.
What does that even mean? Kill them all? All 140M?
Because their leaders and oppressors are evil?
Sorry, Mr. Churchill. We’d like to help you, but we just don’t want to overreact.
Sometime you wonder if we shouldn’t have let both the Brits and France fall. Obviously history is not her strong suit.
Woah! Do all Brit women look somewhat “horsey” or is it just this broad and Camilla?
Read the comments, though - it's almost entirely Brits writing and they're ripping her a new one.
She’s from Waterford, though. She works at Oxford U.
Jean McConnell - never forget.
