I just worried that you (or others) might read it as saying as American people support this, rather than politicians.
The real barometer of this is that the Scottish Government and/or UK Government would not go against America on terrorism. Never in a million years.
The SNP regularly go to America and (much to the Scottish peoples embarrasment) kiss the feet of America politicians. And this decision will go down as badly in the Scotland, and the UK as a whole, as badly as America. Just wait and see how the SNP suffer when Megrahi is treated as a hero.
My only worry is that the Scottish people will suffer for the actions of a few politicians. Ring a bell?
Oh, yeah. Well, let's hope someone shines some sunshine on this deal.
We are learning that lesson first hand right now.
