Keith, the British Army's role in the effort to contain, and eventually cause the downfall, of Soviet expansionism is well known and appreciated. I served, during my time in the military, with British armed forces, and became very good friends with a number of them, even though their beer wasn't very good...(ducking here). Many of the Brit's here have altered, to a degree, my thoughts on The Troubles. But they have not shifted one tenet of my own views. The Brit's need to be out of the North of Ireland. You folks continually point out that the people don't support the continued troops in the North, yet they are still there.
