they wont mess with us now that enda has us in the european rapid reaction force

I thought the Irish people voted for this?

Doesn't mean it was a wise idea. They voted FF for the last 14 years too!

(And they voted against it. Then the government decided that the people were wrong and had to vote again until they got it right).

Not really the point though is it?

Not if you don't want it to be. Interesting though

No, it's not interesting though. There was a vote, supported by all major parties that the majority approved. Enda Kenny, much as I disrespect his leadership qualities, will have no choice in what happens which is the original point I was making.

On the news this morning is Hilary Clinton giving 29bn dollars to countries to help the opposition get around technology sensorship. I presume this is only in countries where the US don't like the leadership. Imagine they spend 29bn on that!

funny, no mention of the trips to afghanistan in the eighties to arm them against the russians and then use the arms to fight the yanks years later

Who, the mujahidin?

Never happened, all anti-american lies.

Get a copy of a book called Killing Hope: US Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II by A former CIA operative called William Blum.

That list only tells half the story.

Sorry you don't find it interesting. I do, that's all. Not all the parties supported it though. SF didn't, and in the first poll, most people agreed with them so whether you call them a "major" party or not isn't the point (to use your term). I wonder what way people would vote on it if there was to be another referendum tomorrow...

You'd like to think it would be different but never underestimate the stupidity of the electorate.

With great power comes great responsibility. One of the arguments TO makes is that we criticise the US for everything they get wrong and don't apply the same standards to others. I think its a fair point but I also think it is correct that we judge the US by higher standards than most.

That's cos we are fed a tirade of Rupert Murdoch's Fox Channel Shite masquerading as truth where the yanks are all to happy to take the high stand and bleat to the world about how "high" their standards are. 

I see there's no mention of Nicaragua.  Not surprising considering the warcrimes that were committed there by the cnuts.  Oh, and they got their arses well and truly kicked into the bargain.
