" "...England and especially the USA are seen as pits of moral decadence..."

Sadly, they are exactly that. "


You say "moral decadence" as if it were a bad thing. Sorry, but neither country has anything to apologize for. Some folks seem to feel that the only defense is to grab your ankles and bend over and apologize for creating the situation. Sorry, it doesn't work that way.

I'm not a flag waver and I'm not about to go dancing in the street, but this threat had to be fought.   Sure, there were many mistakes and many lives wasted. We can't change what has happened, but we can affect the future so that this won't happen again.

Education IS the best defense, and showing Bin Laden with a bullet in his head and dumped in the ocean is a just image of what will happen when you try to inflict warped values on others.
