Hi Hon :-)

I agree completely.

I'm going to go out on a limb here with this opinion, clearly not politically correct, that I don't give a rats a** what the rest of the world thinks of us. I mean, seriously, we didn't rise to our level of supremacy by worrying about what the has-beens and might-have-beens of the world think.

I am a firm subscriber to the theory that fear works. Mess with us, hurt our folks, you will die. Not only will you die, your family will suffer andyour country will be blasted.

It's a rough world and the historical long view is that it doesn't suffer fools.
