I take it you're not such a "happy gal"? Or that you were one of the ones dancing in the streets when the shuttle blew up? Or is it that you enjoy seeing tv news reports of dead Israeli babies?

Care to explain?

I'd like to know WHERE you got the impression ANY Irish people dancing in the street when the shuttle blew up. Or enjoying seeing 'dead Israeli babies'. Sweetheart...you need to get out and about a bit...you know NOTHING of the world.

I have a friend in Derry with whom I'll be staying next month. He is worried about what I'll face there, so he wrote me to warn me of the current anti-American attitude that's getting to be common. He was the one who told me of the dancing in the streets when the shuttle went down. He wrote a letter to his local newspaper condemning the celebration. The fact that you didn't see it in no way changes the fact that it happened. As to what I said about the news reporting of the Palestinian situation and the "Free Yassir Arafat" demonstration, that's what I saw personally (two of my friends took part in it). Sorry if you have a problem with reality, unHappy, but your refusal to accept reality doesn't alter reality.
