British Are Not Like the Spanish Wimps

I previously asked, “Will the British people respond to the London terrorist attacks like Americans or like the Spanish?” The verdict is in and the British are hanging tough. Prime Minister Tony Blair announced that Britain will start deporting those who advocate terror.

“Prime Minister Tony Blair today promised new measures to close down mosques and bar or deport clerics deemed to be fostering hatred and violence…”

"Let no one be in any doubt…the rules of the game are changing."

“The new measures take aim for the first time at Islamic Web sites and book stores that are considered extremist and at "networks and particular organizations of concern." In addition, Mr. Blair said that any foreigners in Britain in "active engagement" with those sites or groups would be considered for deportation.”

Naturally, Muslim groups in Britain are protesting. They are probably no more trustworthy than CAIR in the U.S.

Tony Blair is definitely on the left. And yet, his national security and attendant foreign policy resembles that of conservatives. Blair does have his far left legislative detractors, but the British left in general is not protesting. Sounds like in this case, the British left has more common sense than the American left. Come to think of it, the American left resembles the Spanish.
