Nah, we are not more neutral than we can host a fairly big air drill with planes from several NATO countries, inlcuding the US. (And Switzerland.) There are also some other agreements bringing us close to NATO. But when it comes to take the final step, there is some inertia that somehow makes that difficult. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |

Crown of Aragon (Just Aragon is not the actual answer, although I expect that's what will be accepted. The Crown of Aragon was a union of several states, one of which was named Aragon, in what is now eastern and northern Spain.) > B2.

Let's see if he can continue that pattern with 32 on Round 9 and 64 on Round 10. :-) -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "I can't tell from this... whether you're msb@vex.net | a wise man or a wise guy." --Ted Schuerzinger |
