Read the whole thing. It's great. And it's great to see it from a foreign newspaper.

This is great - and from The Mirror?

Shock and amazement, I tell you!

[f.Christian]

Never waver(blink)!

Great post! Thanks.

I love America, yet America is hated. I guess that makes me Bush's poodle. But I would rather be a dog in New York City than a Prince in Riyadh. Above all, America is hated because it is what every country wants to be - rich, free, strong, open, optimistic.

And those "Americans" who hate us have done nothing but make us less so.

this guy gets it... we coulda opened a huge can a whoop-ass and turned the ME into a sheet of glass... because we believe in justice and the controlled use of force, we have restrained ourselves... don't mistake this for weakness...

[LonePalm]

BRAVO!

Our English cousins got it exactly right. To use a cricket term, the writer just knocked it for six. That would be a grand-slam homerun here.

A UK bump!

You're right, as is the author -- we have restrained ourselves. But there is a limit to our restraint as a nation. The vast majority of Americans support going into Iraq -- just as we supported going into Afghanistan. Woe be to our enemies who mistake our restraint and love of justice as weakness. There's a huge "balloon" of "righteousness" pent up ready to explode if we are served up another 9/11 -- or heaven forbid, something worse.

This is a good find indeed ! I know there are millions and millions of Tony Parsons out there in the real world . Damn refreshing to read from them .

[demkicker]

Thanks, this is great.

[metesky]

I still find it incredible that 9/11 did not provoke all-out war. Not a "war on terrorism". A real war.

So do I.
