Fully agree on the hyper-sensitivity of Americans. If I've seen one
American male sobbing on the neck of another American male on TV news
I've seen a hundred. They used to be a tough race - much like the
Aussies - what has happened? This must be the SNAG syndrome in action
(Sensitive New Age Guy). We also have scenes of American soldiers and
Mmrines admitting they were frightened about something. Conpare this
attitude with the attitude of the S & As in danger of having their
heads cut off in Missee Lee. Roger simply said sadly, *Vale, domina.*
