Remembering 9/11

While it is a year on and most of the world remembers, I also remember the solidarity of the world at the time and that gave me so much hope.
And now a year on I have become angry, angry that after all said and done so many outside of America and Britain have for gotten the painful lessons learned from the tradegy.
While Britain again stands aside America, the rest of Europe predictably behave like cowards, in particular Germany and France.
The Germans for some reason believing that a war on the side of the good is not a good thing based on their past…how so???
The French just seem to take everything for granted and seem to have this opinion that if they leave Saddam alone he will leave them alone…just how naive can a whole country possibly be?
But there are a few idiots in this country as well. I read in a paper that covers the UK’s second largest city (Birmingham) a letter about comparing the US’s arsenal to Saddam’s.
In it this deluded individual claimed it was wrong to go to war on Iraq based on the fact that Saddam only has a few tons of Sarin and other neurotoxins and chemical weapons, plus about 80 Scuds and a beleagured army. Whilst the US has Nuclear Carriers, Warships and Submarines, B-52’s and stealth aircraft, so essentially saying it’s not a fair fight for the Iraqi’s…well duh, what does this guy expect, that the US take on the Iraqi’s without it’s military muscle???
And is the fact that Saddam has weapons of mass destruction not being enough for this guy?, thankgod the US has these tools at it’s disposal, otherwise the world would be held to ransom.
What Europe and the wobblers in the UK fail to realise is that Saddam and Bin Laden are not interested in peace, they want to be heroes to their people and they WANT a Holy War no matter what the cost. Sitting back and thinking that leaving them alone means that they shall do the same is ridiculous, leaving them alone means only one thing, more time to develop and deploy weapons of mass destruction, at the moment Saddam can hit only hit Israel, so why does Germany and France worry, but we can’t let him hit Israel, if we do then Israel WILL strike back hard and then the middle east becomes an even bigger worry and problem.
