text: If there's one thing I admire about the British, it's their stoicism in the face of adversity. On this side of the Atlantic, every time they so much as HEAR about somebody dying somewhere I see people wail and whine and moan about terrorism and Muslims and immigrants... and they demand pointless new laws, endless committees and studies, and they act like the world is coming to an end.
  The British just clean up and get on with it. No complaining. No predictions of doom. No hiding in their houses like limp-wristed cowards. No matter what gets thrown at them they just brush it off and move on.
  In Canada and the US, the terrorists have already won because half of our population are cowering in their homes, crying about immigrants and Muslims.  In Britain, terrorism gets a big middle finger and not much else.  Gotta love it.
