Well McGrath, it's not that I haven't tried, but I must admit that my reading of such sites as the Irish Times was not sensitive to the Irish Neutrality Question, except as a minor aside to the Irish Loss of Identity Question, the Irish Immigration Question, and the Irish Corporate Tax Question. But maybe there are war clouds over Europe that we Americans are not aware of; it wouldn't be the first time.

But since there are other countries in the EU that have maintained neutrality during several of the world's late unpleasantnesses, there must be some precedences for this sort of thing, how are the other countries handling the issue?
