God friend Teribus you are a serious man, don't take my cynical comments so literally, read them as light hearted. Regrading my remark about the British government going into other countries involving themselves in others disagreements, I suppose I was referring to William Hague and the situation in the Crimea. He was going on about Russia and what they did (rushing in to defend those loyal to them, something like what the Ulster Loyalists enjoyed) Hague then went very quiet after a couple of academics from Oxford pointed out to him, eh, "it could hurt us more than them, tone it down". He then scuffled over to Brussels and spoke in a much quieter voice on his return. The arms industry is big business, Britain is a major supplier to some of those countries or factions that cut hell out of eachother. As I said, see me as a cynical old sod, not bruising for a fight here and hopefully not because you are British an I am Irish. I would prefer to stay civil, I can adopt if so required.
