probably economics at work here : costs Britain less to rule over Ireland, than to rule over the "old India" with a dissident population. cheers, kumar@theIrishneedtofindtheirGandhi?.pov

<Since the discussion point was Kashmir (i.e. "Same reason as, IF the people in Kashmir wanted their own country. Neither India nor Pakistan would allow it. doing nothing is a no-op." #reply-17860882 ), which is quite very close to both India and Pakistan, and Taiwan, which is quite very close to China, it might be useful to note that a great example of where Britain did not accept the will of the populations involved is Ireland,> Carl, you misunderstand the situation if you mean Northern Ireland; the majority is in favour of continued British citizenship. Stupid [or malevolent] Americans gave money to Irish terrorists, who bought arms from Ghaddafi who murdered Americans over Lockerbie. Now the criminal and evil IRA thugs are making fake apologies about killing many children and others in an attempt to curry favour; as though parents of children murdered and maimed will casually let bygones be bygones because that disgusting Gerry Adams and his horror sidekicks want to play politician and be big cheeses. Let's hope something horrible happens to Adams and co. Osama and Adams - freedom fighters!! What a shame Adams wasn't in the WTC raising funds for more terrorism when Osama struck. infoplease.com Mqurice
