Hi Vauxhall,

I think the key words are "without the weaponry". That's not so bad, is it? My husband told me a story, that when he was a kid, he couldn't understand why the leaders of the countries didn't just get in the ring and duke it out themselves, instead of sending the country's young to go out and fight.

Frankly, I think that's a pretty good idea. I think Canada has a chance here (our PM being under 75). There are limits though! There are certain world leaders that do not belong in the wresting ring! No matter how many sit-ups they do, it won't be enough!

Linda.

It's practically a televised world war without the weaponry.

It seems, this morning, that I had to wake up with the sad news about the weapons, like out of a remaining nightmare of the night.

I hope that each and every Elizabeth's subject who writes here is OK (but for the shock), and their friends and family as well.

Uh, oh. I don't like the sounds of that. It's only 4AM here, but I guess I better turn on the tube.

I can't add anything to what Tchoco said, but I hope everyone is OK, over there!!
