Kære Peter
Thanks for correcting my spelling of Peter Heering. I guess that discussion on that excellent liqueur is a bit out of point and beyond the boundaries of the discussion group. But anyhow skål!
Real football is something to watch. If I remember Iceland won Denmark in the first match in Iceland around 1907. Since then we have been the under dog and humulated once with the score of 1 to 13 in the 60s.
As I wrote yesterday Icelanders have hard time to decide where to stay and like to be able to go both ways. The Monroe Doctrine (Dec 1823) that the U.S. would regard as an unfriendly act any attempt by European nation to interfere in
the affairs of the American countries or increase its possessions on the American Continents" was used as a pretext when U.S in July 1941 took over the defense of Iceland from U.K. This was 5 months before Pearl Harbor. U.S. became
active partner of the WW2 by that act, but only by using the Monroe Doctrine. The moral of the story. Borders, points and national identity can move from place to place over time. This is a Spatial-Temporal issue.

Best regards
Emil
