Well, bubblyrat, I'm as anti-monarchist as they come, but I would be right up there should our beloved nation be threatened with invasion. The two standpoints do not go hand-in-hand. Mind you, I would not be right up there if some third-rate politico was trying to persuade me that a war fought ten thousand miles away to oust a few alleged nutters hiding in a country three times bigger than the UK was going to make me safer, or to invade a sovereign nation on the basis of the nastiness of its leader without any sort of exit strategy whatsoever and utterly heedless of the inevitable massive loss of innocent civilian life. I hope you'll accord me at least some choice in what I theoretically join up for, but at least be assured that pacifism is no part of my creed. Amazing, isn't it, how life isn't always black and white.
