And what of your Jolly Old England? Seems you have had more terrorist
attack than we. They must really "love" you.

I'm not English, nor never have been so they're not mine, and I didn't
refer to them in my post.

But yes, the English have been attacked a bit, inevitably. Given what
they've done in Iraq it's not surprising.

But, just as 9/11 didn't create even a ripple on the graph of violent
deaths in America, fundamentalist islamic terrorism has killed few
Brits.

Unlike America, though, the deaths have done little to alter the way of
life in Britain. And the Brits are used to it - they had to put up with
the (US funded) IRA for thirty years, so there haven't been trash-cans
for terrorists to put bombs in in the subway for yonks, if not longer.

The US is weird, in that it's never been attacked from outside for the
last hundred years, so the population flap around like headless
chickens at the tiniest suggestion of a hint of a threat.

I know of no country whose population would react/ has reacted in such
a cravenly panic-stricken way as the US; but I realize that this is
partly due to its unique geographic and political isolation.

(Which, oddly enough, is also the reason why its people, in many ways
as sweet as they come, frequently behave so viciously when they come in
contact with foreigners, whom they see, as explained in the video which
began all this, as being other-wordly beings who suffer from the
terrible fate of being non-American.)
