Well, seeing as how you are an expert in the analysis of newspaper 
stories, you might recall in the aftermath of the Falklands war it was 
mentioned, probably in one of the Sunday heavies, that at one of the 
early crisis meetings to discuss the UK's options the nuking of the city 
of Cordoba was mentioned. ISTR it being said that the idea was dropped 
when it was allegedly discovered that the US wouldn't give us the 
targeting codes.

Next time you're in the British Library looking for local newspaper 
reports of dogs, you might care to spend some time looking for something 
a little more serious. It might help you to stop looking like a 
small-minded fool.
