Fight them on the beaches?
I am sure you remember the speech someone wrote for Churchill :
"we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."

Whenever the BBC talks about the resistance in Iraq they are painted as "muslim extremists" and no doubt the "muslim extremists" are taking advantage of the situation.

But ask yourself if we were invaded, if our natural resources were stolen, our children killed with high explosives, men and women tortured, shortages of water, shortages of electricity, shortages of food and medical care. What would we do?

How would we respond to the arrogant invader strutting and boasting, the quisling government which grovels to the invaders? Would we grin and bear it? Or would we "fight on the beaches, fight on the landing grounds, fight in the fields and in the streets, fight in the hills; and never surrender?"

And nobody in their right mind is going to call me a "muslim extremist" are they?
