#2 How about infidel outposts in muslim lands, or blistery remnants of the reconquista, or twin daggers of the military failure in Al-Andalus, or 3,497 other overwrought expressions of seething misdirected futility.

#3 AROUND THE WORLD; British Warships Arrive In Gibraltar Amid Protest

AP
Published: April 14, 1983

Sixteen Royal Navy warships steamed into port today in this disputed British colony, enraging the Spanish Government.

The British Defense Ministry denied Spanish press reports that the ships were testing Gibraltar's defenses. The Spanish Government on Monday delivered a formal protest in London expressing ''concern and displeasure'' over the maneuvers and visit to the colony on the southern tip of Spain.

It called the presence of the British warships ''undesirable'' and said Spain ''repeats its desire to resolve the Gibraltar question through negotiations, in accordance with United Nations resolutions in order to assure Spanish territorial integrity.'

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Been there, seen it, done it. What principles?
