Yes and I for one (despite my complete mystification of your fetishism for
guns, pseudo-scientific jargon, mean ceramic dates and even despite
McDonalds desire to desecrate the world's urban townscapes) am extremely
grateful you Yanks put isolationsim behind you and GIs like the late John
Cotter saved us western Europeans from a century of totalinarianism.
Globalism for its faults means that the world is now a very small place.
