So, when you push all-in holding 7-3o, you blame the guy who calls you

When they're not blowing
themselves up and/or engaging in intefadahs, they're not being killed.

Actually, they are.

Do you have anything more specific than "nuh-uh" to offer?


I don't know enough about it [the 2000 Camp David Summit].

You haven't let ignorance deter you from commenting before. Why start now?


One suspects it's similar to a bit of
collective pay bargaining going on just down the road from me at the
moment - it's not what's IN the agreement that's the problem, it's
what's left OUT, and the fact that once you've signed the bit of paper
that leaves it out, it's out forever.

You're right, you don't know enough (or perhaps anything) about it. The
point being that ANY negotiation is doomed to failure if one side opts to
simply reject the initial offer out of hand and walks away without ANY
sort of counter-offer.


I don't recall the IRA's position being one of dedication to the
destruction of England.

No, just the bit of the UK that they considered should be part of the
Republic.

Thanks for acknowledging the irrelevance of the UK/Ireland comparison
(though I doubt you realize that you did acknowledge it.)
