Compare And Contrast
By Mitch Berg
What Britain said in 1940: when given a choice between acquiescen\ce to authoritarianism and resistance:
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender,
Answering the same question today:
Britain’s Home Office, which is responsible for immigration issues…said it “opposes extremism in all its forms” and would work to “stop [the producer of a movie critical of Islam] from coming to our country.”
A time for choosing, indeed.

I prefer the tougher, old style stiff upper lip Brits.
A tough bunch; we could do well to emulate their response to terrorism.
