Stiff Upper Lip
she was a brave woman who gracefully showed the Islamic extremist world that Britain still has the same famous defiance that they had in WW II. The Islamic extremists must realize that they will never win through violence. Neither will the West, however. Both sides need to sit down for crumpets and tea and engage in some serious dialogue.
That being said, there is no reason to villify British troops. They are simply protecting economic interests...as are US Troops. We have nothing against Islam, but we insist that Western business interests be allowed to exploit(oops I mean explore) foreign resources.

This young lady shows that you don't need a gun but you do need courage.
Malala Yousufzai
There are still true heroes in this world and thankfully they do walk among us.

He has told you, O man, what is good ; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God.

Well, no, she didn't need a gun, since the lunatics weren't trying to hurt her. It could potentially have come in handy for the guy they'd just hacked to death, though. And the police who shot them shortly afterwards - their guns came in pretty handy.

He needed a gun.

Re: He needed a gun
The gun didnt really help him though. The robbers shot at him, when they saw the gun. Perhaps, if he did not have the gun on him, no body would have had to die, and the little girls didnt have to see their dad get shot.
