Goodbye to Neutrality Forever

Ireland fully supports the next phase of GWB's dubious 'War on Terrorism'. We do????

I just saw our wonderful Taoiseach on TV giving a press conference with Dubyah and together they have confirmed the worst fear of millions of Irish people, apparently Ireland is an important member of the coalition against terrorism and fully supports the next phase of the war, whatever the hell that might be. Our valuable neutrality, cherished for most of the last century, destroyed almost instantly by Bertie Ahearn without any consent from the people or even the Dail. We managed to remain neutral even during WWII, a considerably more morally straightforward conflict than the current battle for oil but Dubyah snaps his fingers and Bertie commits the Irish people to helping the mass murder of Third World people without any provocation.
We cannot stand for this. Let Fianna Fail know they made a real mistake this time. We will take to the streets and let them know exactly what we think about this horrific nonsense.
