you know America through her movies, propaganda, historiography, logos, emails, websites, her aircraft that first landed with Lindburg in Mayo, her Presidents seven only one of whom invoked New Ross, her flag and her architecture on the Merrion Road some vicious slight to Joycean Lore.

They shut Prague down.
They stifled democratic and pacifist protest and "open debate".
"Open debate" is a crucial term for generations of Czech people, many of whom remember well the days before the velvet revolution and NATO membership.

not gas.
not technology.
not CIA busting every info-centre.
not silly morons talking about 25thousand soldiers on the ground within a week´s notice.
