I could write to you about an ailing relationship between two countries, two friends and two lovers, and tell you how they hinge on a silk thread that is hard to see even in bright light that stuns the eyes; inspite of receiving taxes encouragement, and thoughtful gifts how the backbone is stiff from the...
