There is no such thing as a country being a "good guy", we've all got seas of blood on our historical hands.
But between ethnic cleansing, slavery and it's use of atomic bombs, napalm etc on civilians it's a dark disturbing history of our colonial cousins.
One which it doesn't seem to learn from if the recent and current drone attacks are anything to go by.[/QUOTE]
i agree with what you have said and illustrated, what is a county anyway!? What have i got in common with those others who co habit this island? For the vast majority nothing at all. I am here on this forum because i have an affinity with those who respect the land they are attached to and would hope that this would include the fixtures and fittings to a live and let live within the lest it harm none do what thou wilt doctrine. I understand and would actively support punishment of those who transgress this law however i do not live in such a deluded world that i would ever rely on any to fairly apply this in practice. So i await the inevitable conclusion, the lightening bolt which starts the forest fire and the regrowth with vigour which always follows.
Best wishes.
