ecu,
I would never consider you an enemy. I hope you would never view me as one.
You know we have been with you in every war since our confederation and before. You had our total and absolute support when you killed Argentinians to regain a few wind swept bunch of rocks in the south Atlantic. We were bombing Iraq together during the first gulf war. We died and killed Japanese right along beside you when we were trying to defend Hong Kong etc, etc. War unfortunately has to be fought and won and the only way to do this is to kill and bring the enemy to it's knees. Canada, the US and yes the UK is in a war, a long war. Blood will be shed and lots of it. Do I wish it? Absolutely not, but I'm no fool. Nice talk and best wishes is weakness to our enemy. Sadly there is no one converting these terrorists with your pacifist message. My aunt (my adopted family) told me about how my  great grandfather and his brothers would remain awake all night with loaded rifles right after the American civil war. The Irish finians wanted to liberate us fron the grips of the evil UK. We weren't going to go for that. We shot some and then the US government made those goons go back to their homes.
