Winston Churchill:

If, however, there is to be a war of nerves let us make sure our nerves are strong and are fortified by the deepest convictions of our hearts.

Never give in ? never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valor, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar.

You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.

    It’s a trifecta of Muslim terror. London, the SEAL, and now assasination / murder.
    These cruds are on a roll.
    We need to wake up, as a culture, and recognize that there is no dealing with these people in AQ. The truth is, they will have to b…

  3. I’ve always been somewhat of an anglophile (even though my parents are both 100% Cuban). I wish our British cousins the best and Godspeed. In this world of enemies the British have shown themselves to be a true Ally.

  4. I will be flying a British Flag from my car’s vehicle in solidarity with these great courageouss Brits.

  5. Union Jack

    Finally we will not buckle like the Spanish…we don’t do that. British character is always the strongest when were a bit pissed off….but we don’t back down to bullies. Mr Hitler found that out.

  6. This says it all:

    ”As Brits, we’ll carry on – it doesn’t scare us at all” said tour guide Michael Cahill, 37. ”Look, loads of people are walking down the streets. It’s Great Britain – not called ‘Great’ for nothing.”

  7. Anyone see the bearded dicktators letter to queen elizabeth on granma? I was confused why he would include this sentence….”Puedo asegurarle que el pueblo de Cuba, que ha sido v?ctima del terrorismo durante m?s de cuatro d?cadas, comparte el dolor y rechaza este injustificable ataque contra el pueblo brit?nico.”…considering the source of the terrorism in cuba.
