Introduction

As I am sure you can all guess by the place in which I am posting this message, and the fact that I am the newest member, this is a brief introduction. I am a student living in Canada who takes an active interest in world events and enjoys debating them. Not much else I really need to say at this point. I look forward to my time here.

Sorry to hear that, I've been getting over some sick feelings myself, so you have my true pity.

It translates into "Who Will Guard the Guards?" I use it mostly in reference to the United States, Bush declaring that they are the guards of the world. The meaning behind it is more of a policing aspect. Not so much "Who will protect the Guards?" as "Who will watch the Guards?" Or "Who will police the Guards?". It's good stuff, I'm trying to learn more Latin.
