ANTI-WAR FRIENDS

Stephen Pollard is furious with his anti-war friends. (via RealClear Politics) A sampling:

I am shocked that so many of my friends would rather a brutal dictator remained in power — for that would be the direct consequence if their views won out — than support military action by the United States. I am ashamed that they would rather believe the words of President Saddam Hussein than those of their own Prime Minister. I am nauseated that they would rather give succour to evil than think through the implications of their gut feelings.

I wonder what it is that makes the Brits–both their politicians and their columnists–generally more eloquent than their American counterparts? They seem to have much more penchant for rhetoric than we.
