Iceland said GFY to British depositors. Not sure if you do that with the Russian mafia and KGB and get away with it.

I saw The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit a week or so ago, starring Gregory Peck. Its a good movie, the undercurrent throughout the movie was the after effects of WW2. I found it unsettling as the USA suffered less from WW2 than those counties directly involved. Even Britain escaped a most of it, but relatives who built the Burma Railway may say otherwise.

WW1 finished the British Empire. It took a while to wind down, but by the late 1930's it was done. Credit enabled Britain to piss away everything it had on WW1 and then some. It looks like Vietnam cooked the USA's goose, more (expensive) bombs dropped in Vietnam than during the whole of WW2, but it hasnt been fully realised yet.

If it stops a war its worth doing. Northern Ireland has been going on for hundreds of years. Peace was worth releasing all the murdering terrorists once it actually happened. The UK and Germany are best of pals these days but that could change I suppose.

Oh tut tut.
