You should know by now Steve that "invade" is not a word anymore. I think what you meant to say was "liberate"

Cod war revisited....difference being we've no longer got a navy to protect our now invisible fleet of fishing boats.

The threat of closing the NATO base at Keflavik is no longer tangible so I reckon the volcano will win by a mile.

I consider your attempts to liberate my mind to be most invasive.

The US doesn't need asking twice to, ahem, 'liberate' somewhere - but if the UK go to war with Iceland this year then the US would show up toward the end of 2013...

'Tis a shame as I'd love to go to Iceland, it's in my top three world destinations! I don't want to be seen as an Imperialist Invader though, just a nice tourist!

Was gonna poste something similar. Reminds of the Cod Wars of the 70's.
