The last time a British prime minister was defeated by the Commons on a war motion was 1782 when the Members of Parliament refused to go on fighting against that restless little country across the Atlantic that wanted its independence – the United States of America.
After the debacle that Bush and Blair caused in 2003 when they just needed to attack Iraq, it’s not going to be easy for another prime minister to get into a war – especially one that is being instigated by this restless big country across the Atlantic – the United States of America.
Sounds like the British people learned from that lesson.
Sounds like we Americans didn’t.
I agree with many that the use of chemical weapons is disgusting, only I question why the use of chemical weapons is more disgusting than the use of conventional weapons to kill large numbers of people. Killing innocent people is disgusting, no matter by what method.
