My apologies for spitz. Not every freeper has his attitude. I appreciate your input and concern. Sometimes I think that the only true friends we have in this world are Great Britain, Canada, and Australia. Notwithstanding some unkind remarks by some on this forum, lots of us are interested in hearing from those "on the scene."

how come that the countries you support and build up as powers against your enemies almost always are your worst enemies some years later? how come that every time the UN comes into play, some moron has to say: but [insert commiefascist here] does not need the UN and we ought to have the same options. its quite simple, isnt it? ethics do only exist when there is somebody to enforce them. any other way everybody can sell and bend ethics and morals like ballon animals. in nations, ethics are upkept through the people's representatives, whatever we might think of them. but in the inter-state-relations there still was the need for an instance to control and judge in times of argument. but the biggest animal in the woods does not want somebody telling him that theres no actual reason to drop nukes on old starving enemies with unemployment rates of 60-80% and unbelievable death rates because of the medicine embargo held up for about 11 years. if they still have anything, that will most likely be weapons, right.

Thank you - I really appreciate that. It is true that our cultures have different perspectives on things. I follow both the US and the European (mainly UK) press and sometimes it is hard to tell that we are even hearing about the same thing.

Britain is a case apart, because we are much closer to America and yet part of Europe. There's what you could call an ID crisis going on, especially with the English. Things are getting truly bad under Blaaair.
