U.S. Troops Must Not Be at the Mercy of the ICC

However it is really Irish women that I fear the most. (And I am Irish.)

Instead I prudently take note of the all too widespread preudicies Canadians and Frenchmen express about my country.

And I've thought, you were American :wink:

Well I am. However this is a point about Americans which people of other countries often find difficult to understand.about Americans We are often intensely identified with and proud of our national origins and, at the same time, proud of being Americans. Where I grew up, almost no one on the street answered the question "What are you?" by saying I'm an American. Instead it was :I'm Irish" , I'm a Slovac"; "I'm Polish";"I'm Jewish" or "I'm Italian", "I'm a Greek" or "I'm a German". If you tried to get away with "I'm an American", you had to be tough. It was the Poles and the Italians with whom we had the most intense rivalries - I don't know why, however, We aere always being encouraged to go out with Irish girls, but I always preferred the more exotic Greeks, itailans and Jews.

Completely unrelated comment to G OB: it's Christmas coming up, and having to go to church and all, so want to apologize for mistaking you for a poseur at best until the second I read your comment about the terminals configuration - you did well to throw them out btw, similar terminals made contemporaneously by that company were way in excess of FCC radiation emission standards.

I regret the error. End of digression, tks for hospitality on this thread!
