"Interesting, Jim. So Ireland is a good example of how to do things?"
Without trying to be too obvious, Strick, You will notice that I never said that...., and to be honest, I don't know where you got that impression from.
What I said was that the training works better in situations where we have relatively little bias towards the people that we are supposed to be policing.

One has seen the capture of Iraqi suspects by American troops, and have heard the "You'll get my American boot on your Iraqi head (up your Iraqi ass)" epithets, gloatingly spoke alà Bruce Willis.
That's not even attempting to capure hearts and minds, Strick. It's not giving a damn, that's what it is.
My point being, of course, that we (and the rest of the Coalition 'partners') have to live under a situation that this kind of mindset made no small contribution towards.
