Dear World

Sir, – I loved all the "Dear World, Love Ireland" letters (Weekend Review, March 8th). But please tell Fintan O'Toole that his last "minus" should have been his first "plus". We are "the best little country in the world"! I am a 71-year-old mother of six and a grandmother of 21, with hundreds of cousins, nieces, nephews – and the "grand" version of all of those – and whenever I get the opportunity, I tell them all how wonderful I believe they are. That is not just flattery, it is a fact. We are a wonderful people! And we must continue to believe it. – Yours, etc,
