Of course, just as there are many, many Britons who opposed the Iraq invasion, the Northern Rock bailout, who oppose the creeping surveillance state and abdication of individual freedoms, etc. But since either resistance has been so anemic, their invective so frail, and protest so ineffectual as to be laughable, they are not deserving of consideration or worthy of referral. As long as the most enlightened level of debate in the States is still on the level of "liberals" and "conservatives" slinging turds at each other I don't see why either should be regarded with anything but contempt and derision.

As Edmund Burke said, "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to sit on their fat dimpled orange-peel arses in a NASCAR T-shirt jamming corncobs and ribs into their straining mandibles while debating furiously on an internet forum about why USS Iowa should never have been put in reserve".
