Ted ,, I'm posting as a concerned American. I just could not believe
my eyes when I saw how your military acted.

You are the British. That has always meant something to me. A long
tradition of excellence when it comes to your military.

Now I witness what I believe is total nonsense.

If you are going to send your forces out with weapons, loaded, to
inspect ships; by God you must be prepared to kill anyone who
gets in your way.

This is a war. Its about time the "west" figured this out.



You are 100% correct except I'm no Brit. I'm a red-blooded American
entrepreneur who owns and operates Ted's of Beverly Hills Steakhouse and
who happens to agree that the Brits dropped the ball. Their sailors and
marines allowed themselves to be used for propaganda purposes. They
played right into the hands of the enemy. And Prime Minister Blair was
made to look impotent. The entire affair was a disgrace. I think they
need to all sit down and eat some steaks cooked rare with a baked potato
wrapped in tin foil. Something's wrong with their hormones. Too much
estrogen and not enough testosterone it seems to me.

Until the west gets serious and starts recognizing and slapping down
with great force threats from Iran and the terrorist Islamic Fascists
war mongers, the trouble will continue to get worse until it comes to a
head which it eventually will. Pay me now or pay me later. The trouble
is paying later is going to be the difference between the check for a
kiddy hamburger and fries meal and a filet mignon and baked potato meal.
First, I was appalled how the Israel Army tucked tail and ran last year
in the Lebanon war. I never expected the great Israeli army to throw in
the towel for political reasons like that. And now Great Briton follows
suit. What's going on? What happened to people with a backbone running
the military? Even our own congress since the liberal Democrats took
over are demonstrating how weak on freedom they are. Oh, how I pray
another Barry Goldwater, the greatest American of all times, would come
along. Or, at least another Ronald Reagan, the second greatest American!

I'm Ted Bell!
