Pissing Off All the Proper People

The WSJ carries a welcome rebuke by Andrew Roberts to his fellow countrymen for their "pusillanimity" over the killing of Osama bin Laden. Naturally I recoil at the predictable, and predictably jejune, reaction of the standard snobbish, anti-American Brit; but, I suppress these feelings in favor of pride as an American that we did not take a more British approach to punishing terrorism, which is to lock someone up until they have a doctor's note and/or British Petroleum wants to cut an oil deal. If that is the way to earn favor across the pond, I'll happily endure POME sneering all day everyday.
