I like the concept of the Isle of Man... in a way it's neutral and self governing from the UK, sort of how the Swiss "Confederation" was separated from the other German confederacies to give it an independent status.
Quote:
A spokesman for Germany’s Defense Ministry said the missiles were an official shipment that was fully declared and had all necessary clearings from German authorities.
“Those patriot guided missiles are from the Bundeswehr’s stocks and have been shipped to South Korea” according to an intergovernmental treaty.
The U.S. moving Patriot missiles to South Korea... welcome to the fold new Kim!

What can be said for a man who would allow his home to be invaded by strangers who demanded they be fed, clothed, housed and granted the rights of the first-born? What can be said for a ruling elite that permits this to be done to the nation, and who celebrate it as a milestone of moral progress?-Pat Buchanan
