Difficulty is, they are not somewhere "over there, in the middle east; they are here, there and everywhere.

We can't let them destroy the important things: our heritage, our history, our values and beliefs ... you know, the stuff that all of us have taken for granted for so long. They are attacking who we are. Don't know about anyone else, but I like living in a democratic constitutional monarchy, where we do have some say in how we are governed, and have laws that are applied equally ... and all the other good shiite (I don't want to get Churchillian)

Hammer..nail...direct hit. Spot on Eric.
