@DomY, Africa & Asia...improved on what was beforehand? :p middle east???
I try not to comment too much on the usa, precisely because it's hard to do so without sounding....French. I'm happy to discuss UK governance, I think I started a thread for just that recently...

Your original post....partly, see my explanations to pa, NI is part of the UK because that's what the (majority) of Northern Irish want, the other part....would you like to see 11/9 described as 'the struggles of the Arabic people'.

Wow, pretty simplistic sentence to wipe away the struggles of the Irish people. Think the treachery of the Crown has as much to do with the 6 counties being part of the UK than anything else. But like most things the English have done over the years they create havoc, take all the goodies, then kick the dust off their shoes and go home to leave the place in conflict.

I just love this sort of ignorance from people without a clue of UK or European history.

Pahunk, I find it quite disgusting that you of a so called allied country seem quite content to advocate the killing of  English citizens, by a bunch of people who do not wish to fight for what they believe is right at the ballot box. You appear to be condoning terrorist activity for something you really don't know a great deal about, and the hope is, you yourself have never put you hand in your pocket to finance the murder of English people minding their own business, for the common or garden English citizen, man on the street, shopper, is not, was not, never was the policy maker and implementer of what the English did in Ireland, we are not our lords and masters.

Now given that I understand your stance on the freedom of other countries won by the bullet and semtex, do you so feel the same about those who wage war on your own country, for the freedoms they seek from US policy in the Middle East ? For that is what it is all about, policy and the actions of your Lords and Masters. The US citizen who is maimed and killed by the Islamic extremist is just the same, a normal Joe, minding their own business. How often is it the policy makers that get the result of these atrocities against the unarmed defenceless citizen ?

In the US, is it the same, the policy makers bleat at how disgusting a thing is, but do little, for the simple fact, it is not them on the receiving end, they can continue with their lives under enhanced security and, continue with their policies, which lead to the targetting of the common or garden, minding their own business American man, woman or child on the street.

Domyngblk, earlier you complained about over simplifying, do not fall into the trap of it yourself.
