Go ahead, oh wonderful patriotic Englishperson. Once again you show your arrogance. I stand by the contention. Your responses in this and other threads are grounded in your prejudices and your upbringing. This is why you make idiotic statements such as the comments about the Irish State. Perhaps you think that they should have rose up against the French a little over a hundred years earlier? The simple fact is that the Irish State, within the context of the times, had very little reason to help the merry old English. They had no reason to see the German State as the murderers we later found them to be. They only knew that they were fighting against the country that had oppressed them for centuries.
