Poor London.. Never fear.. America has your back
Edited on Thu Jul-21-05 04:06 PM by SoCalDem
Apparently in the UK, they have no graphics-savvy news people.. America has picked up the slack..



CNN has this little gem for you guys.. Never mind that our own mad cowboy is likely a bit responsible for this latest wave of retalliation against the UK.

What's a few bombngs between allies, anyway??

Our news people must have assumed that Londoners are just too much in shock to "adequately" respond to this "bad stuff", so CNN and America will have to do it for you, until you become sufficiently scared..

Your BBC actually has people who appear calm, and interview people on the street who are not shaking, screaming, and cursing arabs..

CNN would probably have their graphics people whip up a few tantalizing graphics for you.. they even have the spooky music to go with it..

All you need do, is ask...Old friend:)

3. I always get so mad at people
in America, because they like to pretend that world terrorism was born on 9/11/01. I try to keep telling people that the British, French, Spanish, Latin American, Chinese, Southeast Asian, Australian, Antarctican (is this a word), etc. people have been dealing with terrorism for a long time now.

Hell, in Paris there aren't any garbage cans because they're good targets for dropping bombs into. Americans like to pretend like we're so justified and righteous in our pursuit of the war on Terra, but the rest of the world has long since begun that fight.

So naive we are, so naive...

4. I love you anyway, Britain, no matter what the wankers on the
TV say about it. These guys are so embarrassing. I hope you don't hold it against the rest of us.
