a naivete that declares any resistance to it as - well, ignorant, uneducated and uncivilized.

Tell that to this guy.

Oops, you can't. He died in Iraq fighting alongside American troops.

Perhaps you'd like to write a letter to the little boy in the picture and discuss his father's "snotty condescension". Or make cracks about his teeth.

# Corporal Matthew Cornish, 29, of the 1st Battalion The Light Infantry, died after a mortar attack on a Basra base in the early hours of Tuesday, 1 August. The father-of-two from Yorkshire was the first soldier killed in an attack on a UK military base in Iraq. The Ministry of Defence said his deployments included Northern Ireland, Sierra Leone and Iraq in 2003 and 2004. "Matthew was a great soldier, a fine friend and a marvellous husband and father," said his Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Johnny Bowron.

A hearty THANK YOU! to this soldier and his family, - and prayers for all those killed and injured in this fight against terrorism.
And thank you to those Britons (or those in any country) willing to stand up for the ideals of western civilization.

Where in the H-E DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS did you get anywhere that I said ANYTHING whatsoever about anyone's TEETH? WHERE DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT? MY own teeth are mostly fillings and crowns and never were braced; look like crap - SO I WOULD NOT BE THE ONE TO CRITICIZE ANYONE'S DERN TEETH!!!

There IS the LIBERAL POLITICALLY CORRECT element in the United Kingdom, just like there is the Liberal PC element in the United States. There IS the brave warrior element in the UK, just as there is the brave warrior element in the US. The PC ELEMENT has always put the brave warrior element in harms way whenever the PC ELEMENT gets in power for any length of time, just as the CLINTON PC ELEMENT has put the US in harms way in a big way.
