Try reading... I said "we", as in our generation in England... since most of our generation weren't alive before the 50's/60's then i stand by my statement.

Also, read on to the part where I reference the Middle East... Thanks.

Didn't Tony Blair say that, after 9/11, "America has no truer friend than Great Britain"?
So what if he did? That neither proves nor negates either of our points and is a completely seperate issue.

As for your comment regarding the IRA, don't be sorry. It didn't affect me very much at all... in fact most people here don't dwell on it... which, if you read back to my original post, you'll see was my main point about 9/11.
