As a revese Churchill myself (50% English 100% American), take solice in the fact the only time the British lost was to British decentants.

Dear Brian,

Good to have you back, on the podcast if not back in the U. S. of A.

Hope you're back on Freedom's shores for Independence Day and no one will fault you if you choose to wash down your hamburger with a fine British beer...as long as you bring enough for everybody.

Interesting interview with Martin Bright. Wow, what a coup! Congratulations for landing an interview with him. In reading his article, I noticed that when he gave a few points to Israel, he took some away, always careful to note that Israel wasn't that great. It was a notable job of tightrope walking. Still, it didn't work for him. Too bad. I still think that he was being a bit naive.

Having become an avid listener to SNN, and also having read Mark Steyn's America Alone and The PIG to Islam and the Crusades (highly recommended reading) I think that, to paraphrase Sparticus: 'I am Israeli!'

I think I should have explained this one better otherwise people will think: 'what is this crazy person on about?'

 Having become an avid listener to SNN (I have listened so far to everything in 2006 and 2007 and am working backwards on 2005 now). Each episode is fantastic. Nice to hear a coomon-sense viewpoint stated in starightforward, uncompromising langauge(wait a minute, Common Sense? didn't someone write a book with that title?).

 I have also read Mark Steyn's America Alone and The PIG to Islam and the Crusades (both highly recommended reading). After much consideration I think that it is time we all copied the great scene in the 1950's film Sparticus: in one of the final scenes, Kirk Douglas (Spartacus) and the other captured slaves are sitting on the ground, awaiting their fate from the victorius Roman Army. A Roman solider asks: 'who is Spartacus?'. Kirk Douglas stands and says 'I am Spartacus!'. Very quickly another of the captured slaves stands up and says 'I am Spartacus', and, one after the other, all the other slaves stand and shout the same. IIt is one of those very stirring film-moments. In the current badness,  I think it is important for us all that we stand alongside the brave 'canary in the coalmine' (Israel) and say: ' I too, am Israeli!'.
