Just got one of those CNN breaking news alerts: "Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says he has pardoned the 15 British sailors and marines detained last month and will set them free."

No quarter.

It's seems the pols in DC, London and the EU never learn, vied Twin Towers in '91, Lebanon, S A barracks, Spain RR etc etc. JC is one reason we in the west still have a Islamic threat to our way of life. His policies taught many a person fearing change that blooding the west was a acceptable way to achieve whatever ends were wanted.
