And like Major and Bliar will you roll over?[/quote]
Don't ever compare me to Teflon Tony. I may have done some bad sh1t in my time, but I'm not in his fcuking league.
Of course I'm not advocating panic, never mind capitulation. I'm simply pointing out that complacency is potentially very dangerous. [/quote]
I didnot nor did I imply that YOU as a person was or in any shape or form resembled that unspeakable person!!!! I simply meant would your collective powers that be "Roll over",after all given their track record from the 1950's onward they seem to be quite adept at it?[/quote]
Fair one. But I doubt the "powers that be" will Roll Over for AQ. Not because they have the bottle but simply because surrender is not an option. Al Queda would accept nothing less than total surrender. Not even our politicians are gutless or stupid enough to turn us into an Islamic Republic overnight(there are some who argue they are attempting to do so by stealth in certain parts of the country, but that's another story).

I fully and totally agree with your point of view,HOWEVER,it is the "STEALTH" option that is by far and away the most serious,after all P.I.R.A.,the MAU MAU,etc.,did get to their goal by "STEALTH",and the "Powers that be" bowed to them. As for Stupid Enough, vis-a vis Cyclopes & co., please don't go there,we might just kick start Ashie and completly ruin Christmas.
"A democracy cannot survive as a permanent form of government. It can last only until its citizens discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority (who vote) will vote for those candidates promising the greatest benefits from the public purse, with the result that a democracy will always collapse from loose fiscal policies, always followed by a dictatorship." Lord Thomas MacCauley 1857
