From the desk of Jane Galt:Flying the flag
The British flag was raised in front of the state department yesterday, the first time a foriegn flag has been flown there.
Only trouble is, I can't read "We are all Britons" without hearing Graham Chapman add, "and I am your King".
I went this morning and bought a Union Jack to fly outside my house. God love those Brits. What a bunch of stand up guys!
Why did we not raise the Spanish flag after 3/11? Or the Iraqi flag after any day?
Special treatement due to our "special relationship"? Or reciprocity for some act of the British after 9/11, which Spain did not do?
I think I'd feel snubbed if I was a Spaniard.

Compromise. Raise a white flag at the French embassy in honor of our Spanish friends.
I was going to a meeting here in London when they shut the tube down. Thanks to all our American friends who called and wrote. We've had terrorist attacks before in London, but this is by some way the worst. Not as bad as the smog in 1952 which killed 4-5,000 or the Blitz which killed 60,000. More Brits died at 9/11 too.
Very sad for those personally affected by the death and injury. My condolences.
Brits appear able to deal with large upsets and make the most of a situation. That is an admirable trait which many could well emulate.
I fear that these attacks did not arise from a vacuum. Instead logic provides a direct trace from the deadly explosions to the centers of indoctrination into violent jihad. The nests of indoctrination must be cleaned out to prevent further manifestations of the infestation.
Balls!!!
Hey...why don't we simply hand the Constitution to them and say 'sorry' for the Two Hundred year misunderstanding?
Hell, it only took a few generations for them to reel us back into the fold. False flag terrorism and a nation lulled to sleep with television and other diversions...disgusting.
The ink and the blood has evidently faded so as not be deemed important anymore.
Sic Semper Tyrannous.
"Hey...why don't we simply hand the Constitution to them and say 'sorry' for the Two Hundred year misunderstanding?"
Sounds good to me.
It is hard to believe that the arabists at Foggy Bottom would countenance such an act. Betcha Condi was behind it.
Whatever the reasons behind the recognition of one government to another, I choose to see the sentiment in this case. One need neither support nor oppose the policies of either of our governments to feel sympathy for the victims of this violence.
