Another battle of Britain

In response to yesterday's wave of terror bombings in London, I offer this quotation from a speech delivered by Winston Churchill on July 14, 1940, during the Battle of Britain: "We would rather see London laid in ruins and ashes than that it should be tamely and abjectly enslaved."

My sympathy to the victims and their families. May the perpetrators of this outrage suffer the same fate as the Nazis.

Amen.

Amen twice, Hal.

I've read a couple of biographies of Churchill, but somehow never came across that quote. Thanks.

Steve
