I would like offer an Amendment to the Counter Terrorism act. Not change the document wholly but offer a change to allow a Nation in time of War to Issue Letters of Marque and Reprisal. Basically Legalized Pirates.

I can write this up if it allowed.

Ambassador,

Is that No amendments can't be offered or no to Letters of Marque. This is a Ancient right allowed countries. Even the real United States has the rights to do this. Why not allow a small country like Luxem and Leon the ability to defend herself on the High Seas?

Did you even bother to read the link?

Thank you Ambassador of Bears Armed, I was not aware a link had been set there.

When you see words underlined on NS, hover your cursor over them. If the live-link icon (usually a hand) appears, it's a link. QoD's "No" was a link.

The link below will take you to a thread that shows you how to make links like that, how to post spoilers and other good stuff:

Oh, and welcome to the WA.

Quiet you, stop being helpful. This is, after all, the WA. :tongue:
