Who's the Cowboy Now? (I love it!)
Question: What do you call a Liberal (or Leftist) who's been mugged?
Answer: A Conservative (or Libertarian).
Europeans always look down their noses at Americans for their unrefined, take no guff from anyone, "cowboy" attitude. They don't seem to understand that it is a very human attitude to want to strike back at someone who has wronged you. Now some of them are starting to come around -- finally.
A Swedish engineer who was held captive by Islamic terrorist murderers has now hired professional bounty hunters to find the men who held them and kill them. To this man, all I have to say is: "Welcome to the good guys. Yippi Ki Yay!"

I saw that article and loved it, too. Here's another one for you: Kofi is asking the U.S. to provide troops to protect the UN peacekeepers in Jamaica, because they're actually being shot at! A UN spokesman said "we need scarier troops."

HA!! Beautiful.

There's an update - the US has politely said no - and a correction - it's Haiti, not Jamaica - over at GeoBandy.
It does seem to me that any time there's likely to be actual shooting, the UN force initially consists of US forces, maybe supplemented in a supporting role by other countries' troops. Africa provides sad examples - Rwanda, the Congo - of UN troops standing by and letting the locals continue to kill each other rather than intervening with force.
