British Steel

Fire of Liberty

This piece by John O'Sullivan in The New York Post gives me a good re-assurance that the Brits will prevail over the scourge of radical Islam. Here's a peek:

Common sense suggests that there are limits to this stoicism. If a nuclear bomb killed hundreds of thousands, there would be a fierce reaction. In those circumstances, however, fear would probably be trumped by revenge. They are almost the only circumstances in which I can imagine a large-scale anti-Muslim pogrom.

Short of such a catastrophe, the bombers may murder, maim, inconvenience and even temporarily frighten Londoners. But if bombing could not alter British policy on Ulster, it is not going to change policy on Iraq, or foreign policy in general, let alone transform British social life in line with radical Islamist ideas of sexual apartheid, anti-alcohol prohibition, anti-Semitism and religious intolerance.

Well done.
