Just wanted to share with you all a couple of articles that should provide especial reinforcement to the arguments that come up in this forum.
Decoding the Tony Blair Enigma by Hal G.P. Colebatch at the American Spectator starts off by revealing that "(f)ew people have been more critical than I of British Prime Minister Tony Blair," claiming he wrote the book (literally) first condemning "the whole New Labour enterprise and its associated culture-war, and have published many articles arguing in effect that he has headed the most destructive and dysfunctional British Government since that of Ethelred the Unready."
Here's an example that should dismay all of us:
In 2003, Blair had to decline an offer from the U.S. of a free trade agreement because Europe would not permit it -- a terrible admission that Britain could or would no longer exercise sovereignty in its own interests.
As for the Muslim threat, his words starkly repeat what most of us here believe:
Muslim extremism and terrorism has bred in Britain because of the Government's incredibly conciliatory and purblind attitude towards it since 9/11 and for years before that. Warnings by moderate Muslim leaders ....that radical Imams had a monopoly of proselytising and distributing literature to Muslim prisoners in British jails and .....at university campuses and youth clubs -- were ignored. Multiculturalism has been a total failure. More than 80% of British Muslims now consider themselves Muslim rather than British and the proportion is higher with the younger, British-born, generations than with their immigrant parents. Forty-five per cent of British Muslims believe the Jews were responsible for 9/11.
He then spends the rest of this long passionate article putting flesh on the words of William Shawcross:
"We have a prime minister who in my view has committed many, many errors at home; but abroad Tony Blair has a clear vision, both moral and pragmatic, of the threat we face."

The second article is the last of a set of 4 entitled "The White Man's Burden" at http://wizbangblog.com/2006/09/21. It pretty much merely repeats what has been said here, but the value is in the ensuing comments. It would be good to mobilise the growing numbers of citizens spread throughout the globe shown in such comments and try to come up with a concerted battleplan. A number of groups are trying to do this very thing, but I think we should actively seek out and invite likeminded people instead of having what seems to have taken place elsewhere; an admirable labour of love by a committed core hijacked by people who can't spell and seem more keen to use the group as a forum to vent their spleens against the Irish or discuss the best flag designs which do more to turn off the interested than attract the people we need and to guide and mobilise the movement.
