There are more important things...

...to worry about than this, but...why on earth has an honorary knighthood, given in the name of our Queen, been announced for the American politician Edward Kennedy? What exactly has he done for Britain? His only known involvement in our country was to give warm support to Gerry Adams at the height of the IRA's campaign of murder and terrorism.

As an American I totally agree with you. I havent heard anything about it yet here on the news, but then I have stopped watching the liberal media.
It sounds totally stange, whose idea was it to do such a thing?

I am an American also, and being the conservative that I am have to ask the question "What has Edward Kennedy done for the USA"? Never mind England!

I am also American, and was puzzled about the rumored knighthood. Of course, some in America, mostly the media in recent years, I think have elevated the Kennedy family to royalty, so maybe to them a knighthood is small potatoes.

How dare you compare Mr. Adams with murder and terrorism, the British Empire was built and sustained with murder and terrorism.
