"Remove American nuclear weapons from the whole of Europe. If anything good can come of this, maybe that will be it."

Absolutely. Way back in the early 80s I was delivering firewood (and, one one occasion, Mrs Steve) to the brave women of Greenham, marching with the missus and kids round US air bases (dressed up on one occasion as moles*), all to persuade the bloody yanks to get their baleful weaponry and their sweet arses out of our country. The last thing any country needs is to be made more vulnerable by dint of a bunch of armed foreigners squatting in their country who have wildly different interests to their own.

*Our little lad, four years old at the time, managed to separate himself from us momentarily on one of the demos. We found him a couple of minutes later marching in step, right at the front of the marchers, with the Labour MP Ann Clwyd. He looked very solemn as he trotted along with her and she seemed very happy to have such hallowed company. :-)
