People were saying about Spain the other day too, and yet here we are.

People said it about England in 1940.

The major difference between England and Spain is that both our right-wing party (the Conservative Party) and our left-wing party (the Labour Party) are both united behind the War on Terror, and the invasion of Iraq. Even those politicians who did not support the invasion of Iraq have stated that we need to see the job through. There is nobody of any position at all in British politics who is advocating surrender. The rest of the world may fall away from the coalition (including if, and I hope it will not happen, Sen. Kerry gets elected the U.S.), but England will stand firm, as she has done for a thousand years.

England does not surrender. We did not surrender to the Nazis. We did not surrender to the I.R.A. We will not surrender to al Qa'eda. We do not surrender.
