On my Visit to Ireland I came to the understanding from talking to
Irishmen
that the majority of "Irish" would perfer the British left...
The Irish I talked with made it clear there was 1 Ireland and the only
reason there is a notheren is a minority of Irishmen (ulsters??) wish
the

I imagine something similar gets said in Iraq as well.

However Ireland has been occupied and held since 1172 or there abouts the
south release in the 1920's

I guess you will have a valid argument if we are still occupying IRAQ in say
800 years.

Yawn.

The discussion was about the treatment of the people kidnapped and
illegally taken and held on a US base in Cuba.

In the ending of 'Animal farm' the pigs and the farmers sit down to a
meal together and its hard to tell them apart. Your Government is
getting more like a bunch of terrorists all the time , its just that
they have better bombs and more assets.

I think that's wrong. I didn't think they actually took over Ireland
until Liz I.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed
and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks
that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has
nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more
important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature,
and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so by the
exertions of better men than himself."

The Military occupation of Ireland began under Strongbow and Henry II
The Treaty of Windsor in 1175 recognized the military conquest.
