"As for neutrality The advantage of being neutral is that in peace-keeping or enforcing roles (such as Liberia at present)" if your nuetral your nuetral peroid, you dont allow troops and bombs through your airports do you? as for your remarks about the US President, please remember he is the President of the US and its people and accord his office the respect its due, Irish troops should be despatched at once to Lebanon, we have paid enough in taxes to keep them, they should work for their living, as for your crass remarks reg sick, remember this if you join the army you exspect you be in the firing line dont you?? you did not join to claim compensation for damaged ears, and if you are nuetral why have you an army anyway?
