It is funny that many other countries have a more special relationship with the USA than we do. If you fly to the USA from Dublin airport, you can go through U.S. immigration before you board your plane (a service also available in Canada).

This saves you getting stuck behind 500 suspected Colombian drug smugglers at Miami or JFK. If we’re so special, why can’t we have this too?

Well, since you ask...
