What happened to the spirit of Maggie Thatcher?
I remember a time when Great Britain was a valuable ally to the U.S. in the Cold War. I remember when NATO actually had some power and a backbone. Where has that gone?
Europe, and sadly we include Great Britain here, is a sad excuse for what it had formerly meant to the world. Time was, had some rogue nation captured 15 British citizens/uniformed servicemen, there would be hell to pay. The capture of members of the armed forces of another nation is an act of war and should be dealt with accordingly. As it stands, all Iran has learned is that they can “get away with” this type of behavior. The situation in the Middle East will not stabilize as long as the Mullahs believe they have the power to take this kind of action. The reality is that they chose well, the U.S. or Israel would not have stood for this, but Britain (or any European country for that matter) simply has no resolve to take hard action.
Where are the good old days of Reagan/Thatcher?
