My first trip to Iceland and that's exactly what I thought. I expected a lot of skinny, dark haired women with freckles. I think she must be the only woman in the whole of Iceland with black hair. I could count them on one hand anyway. I have two words that sum up the women in Iceland "Blue Lagoon." And I don't mean the crappy Brooke Shields movie.

I'm pretty sure our titanic defense budget isn't in place just so we can save Iceland. If it wasn't important to the US then the US wouldn't be there any more.

Nonetheless we are bound by treaty to defend them, and them us. Now in the case of iceland them defending us is a pure joke, but how about the other euros? Does any american REALLY believe that any european country would lift a finger to help the US if we were attacked?

UK for sure...some eastern countries like Poland would lend a few troops as well. As for others....who knows. I wouldn't count on it.

I'm pretty sure SS isn't checking out their women and Bjork might be offended that you would consider him one.

Default I remember when I was picking beans in Guatemala

It's also interesting to note that Iceland's constitution established official ties between the government and the church.
