Lonely Irish Cow

Whether any of you like it or not, you've picked a side in this fight. Calling upon the United States and India, you made your very important decision all because of your ignorant, illogical, backwoods, close-minded, and flat-out insane desire for a region with only medium oil (and not much more).

It's foolish of me to try and talk facts as to how ridiculous all of this was. Everyone knows that Ireland never had any real long-term plans for the prospective taking of the North. And, everyone knows they still don't. The real and simple reason is: "Because Ireland will always be our little brother; and they'll always act like the little brother who hates that his parents give us more attention. Ireland is a completely reactionary nation that lives and dies on the welfare of its enemy.

Ireland might as well be the UK's answer to Fredo Corleone. They're an entire nation with an inferiority complex and they'll be handled... even if it doesn't comply with their own itinerary.

It's sort of like how a child answers a sensible "why" question. Well... Northern Ireland is British again. And, EDEN has openly expressed its removed support of the Emerald Isle. They're not going to pay for your childish excursions. As such, you're left without the support of the United States, and with a MPP that continues to go un-used. As it turns out, I was wrong to blame patton alone for that one—at least Dubhthaigh and Edana Savage share his blame (JohnSmith 2K9 claims he wasn't at the meeting).

You see, friends. I'm not of any official government function. I hold no office in any arm of the government. I'm a mere paratrooper. So, I am free to say whatever the hell I want to say. That's why you read The Long Bow, isn't it? Whether you agree with me or disagree with me, you know I'll do my best to never hold back.

However amusing your attempts at saber-rattling have been....

Your leadership is incompetent.

Your excursion in Northern Ireland has failed.

You've made your bed, and now you will lie in it.
