Pure crap, Alan Johnson.
You understand nothing of the complexities that led up to this event.
What is more, you have no perspective in relation to other recent events.
Some might legitimately ask how are you qualified to write on the subject?
But then you don't have to be qualified, do you, to put out propaganda?
I suggest you join up with the forces on your "red line" ready to repel the Eastern devils.
You, yourself, could at least do kitchen or latrine duty for the boys.
Better yet, why don't you, in the 19th century tradition, raise a regiment for the "red line"?
Even if you were right - and you are not - being a Finlandised neighbor is a whole lot better than being an Iraqi.
Uncounted dead, uncounted crippled, an economy destroyed, ancient treasures destroyed.
You are a foolish man, Mr Johnson, a very foolish man.
