Correct, Northern Ireland is ours, but the Republic isn't, they're independent :)
I don't approve either but unfortunately it's something that happens. I'm not even sure why we're IN Iraq at the moment. There's no good reason for it as far as I can see. They don't have WMDs, which I think was what we were after in the first place, and a lot of Americans seem to think we're all in there because of 9/11, when Iraq had nothing to do with it. Ugh, it's just one big mess. Our government has promised to get our people out of there by 2012, I think.. let's see if they make good on it.
The version I have is translated to modern English. It probably loses something in translation but at least they haven't messed it up by trying to make it rhyme like it does in Italian.
