I wonder what would happen if American officials started commenting on internal British policies.

Yours have done for years. Northern Ireland should ring bells. Yet, the alliance still stands.

As for your proposal, William Hague (former leader of the Conservative Party) once went to Washington to meet with the Republicans to discuss precisely that.

"Yours have done for years. Northern Ireland should ring bells. Yet, the alliance still stands.

Northern Ireland is not part of internal "British" policies now is it? United Kingdom policies? That is precisely the dispute isn't it.

Plus, to my knowledge we have not lobbied for changes in policies.Maybe yo can correct me. We have offered to act as brokers between Protestant and Catholic factions.If they have lobbied for changes then you have every right to tell them to F off.Just like we should do on this Kyoto business.

William Hague discussing my proposal with Republican leaders is exactly how these things should be handled.
