The UK Continues Its Sad Decline

America stands alone.

But for how long some may ask? With a leader who seems anything but and is more interested in symbolic gestures and grand speeches than real concrete action on the foreign policy front, one must ponder if America is willing to lead Western civilization anymore.

Great Britain, once a nation who understood its place among nations, has sunk to levels probably beyond Neville Chamberlain's naive peace waving.

"Up to 30 “high-risk” terrorists — including some of the most dangerous men in Britain —are due to be released from jail in the nextyear. More are being freed in the wake of a ruling by Britain’s most senior judges that long sentences for terrorist crimes could “inflame” rather than deter extremism. An analysis of appeal court cases shows that of the 26 terrorism cases it has heard, 25 have led to men with terrorism convictions having their sentences reduced. Others are being released because they serve only part of their term."

Hey, I know some believe this to be true. It could be. I doubt it, personally. I can only hope and pray they're right.

The English are proud of the historical fact that no nation has ever invaded and conquered their splendid island since 1066 when the aptly named William the Conquerer did it.

Something tells me that streak is over.

God save the Queen? Heaven, God save the UK!
