Reaching parts other blogs fail to reach

Many nations have tried to control the world or large parts of it. Genghis Khan and the Mongols, the Roman Empire, Napoleon Bonaparte, the British Empire, the Nazis, the Bolsheviks and even the Americans - they've all given it a lash. But the people who have come closest to achieving it - without anyone even noticing or  minding much - and without a shot being fired - are the Irish.

For generations we have been sending our agents abroad (often cunningly disguised as eejits), and there are now over 70 million people of Irish descent around the world running local governments, police forces, health services and schools. We build roads, railways and everything else, we are mining in Australia, and we run the best pubs from Alberta to Zanzibar.

Look at the US. As well as the President and Vice President being of Irish descent, they are surrounded by Irish. For example, the Director of the CIA is John Brennan, and Samantha Power from Castleknock is the US ambassador to the United Nations

This little blog is now reaching parts that other blogs fail to reach: Ireland (of course), the UK, Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Norway, Poland, Russia, Turkey, Morocco, Nigeria, United Arab Emirates, Myanmar, Mauritius, Thailand, China, South Korea, Indonesia and Brazil.

They say that there are still some tribes in the Amazon that don't know the words of 'The Fields of Athenry', but I don't believe it.
