The one who's jumping to a wrong conclusion here is Keith. I didn't say that I think he was in favor of the Falklands War. I was merely referring to the fact that British sweet-talkers showed their true colors on that occasion (as on many occasions throughout history, until today in Afghanistan and Iraq). As Keith admits, the majority was in favor of the war, and he could have added that even the minority who opposed the war didn't go out of their way to perform protests as they should have done (cf. Vietnam war protesters in USA). Also, it borders on schizophrenia to support/preach imperialism (in the guise of "Free" Trade) and Maggie T. as he is/was doing, but OTOH to "oppose" a war that is waged in that tradition. PC lip service ? > Why don't you stop looking at the world and people in such black-and-white > terms? Reality is much more complicated than you care to imagine. Keith, are you talking to the mirror in your tea again? ;-) (e.g. over-simplifications of stone-age cavemen "trade" vs. modern trade) Chris
