Well, yes, I'd certainly agree that the UK police have been
ineffectual with several recent major events. However, you've got to
give them credit for arresting all four of the recent bomb suspects
within a week of the failed bomb attack. Four years on and there's
only been one person arrested over 9/11 and he got released!

just like all of them other
limeyland Cowards over there.

Now that's just blatant childish namecalling, unncessary and
unintelligent. If you have a logical argument, fine, let's discuss it
(ideally on a political newsgroup) but there's no need for prejudice.
What on earth have you got against Brits? We always back you Americans
up, even when you occasionally have some ill-considered moments, let's
have a bit of support coming back our way too, please?

As for cowardice, may I remind you that we entered WWII in 1939 even
though we hadn't yet been attacked, two years before the USA who only
entered when their naval bases were bombed. I'm not saying that our
actions were particularly intelligent, but you certainly can't accuse
the UK of being cowards. If anything, I'd say we're rather feisty -
never shy of a good scrap!
