…keep the home fires burning

I go to the British very much in these last several weeks — to those who survived Blitzkrieg, who emerged victorious from the Battle of Britain; to that nation of whom the world might one day say (using the words of Churchill), never have so few given so much for so many; to the historical parent of my own nation — for reassurance and comfort in a time of impossible and gravely consequential choices.  And I go to them for nothing so much as the simple knowledge that I am not alone.  That is the cure for terror.  Whether we are right or wrong — and I think we are both — I thank you Britain; I daresay I love you. 

Here is Tony Blair’s announcement of British support and participation in US-led attacks on Afghanistan.  In case that doesn’t work, try this.
