Shariah law as practiced in Indonesia: Indonesian gang rape victim faces public caning | Fox News

A nation facing a military assualt from Nazi Germany had no concern or time for clean hands. Real war is not won by choir boys. War is brutal, hellish and cannot be sanitized. It was Great Britain's good fortune to have Churchill at the helm during those critical years. He was the right man...
