Public debate in America is lively, with the neo-conservative press delighting in being rational yet outrageous. A Wall Street Journal column this month warned: "A nuclear war stirred up against the 'infidels' might end up displacing Mecca and Medina with two large radioactive craters."

While I'm encouraged by the writer's tone and sense of alarm in the article, I find it strange and perplexing that the comparison with this scenario and the Blitz on London followed by massive bombings on Germany by both the Brits and U.S. is lost on the writer. Has he no sense of the seriousness of such an attack on our soil, or his, for that matter? Have the Brits completely lost their senses? What will it take to convince them of the threat on us all, a dirty nuc going off in the center of London?

They would probably surrender. They sound more like the French with every passing day. I hope there is another Churchill lurking over there, because if there isn't, they will be in big trouble.
