That Newt Gingrich is even talking about what "he" would do in a crisis like the past one is rather dumb.
It was Britain's crisis, not ours. For us to pass judgement on what "we" would do is presumptous, given the fact that we're in a "crisis" of our own.
The British may have been perceived as weak, but at least they resolved it without bloodshed.
Too bad we can't learn from this.
