    People from Iceland raided England & Ireland a lot! Rape, pillage, burning
    stuff. Or was that Greenland? Hmm, a dodgy country if ever I saw one. Has
    anyone considered if they might require a pre-emptive strike, too?

    anti-whaling stance.

    This one is out of left field. In any case, how do you know that they
    haven't tried and failed? Or succeeded, in fact? GWB might be an Icelandik
