There's some justice at least

Whatever the arguments and the 'conspiracy theories' I think it right and proper that the leader of the most powerful nation on Earth will get a (daily?) reminder of the consequences of going into a poorly thought-out war on the basis of a lie and then compounding the error by poorly managing the peace.

In 20 years time will President's sitting in their 101 on their way to work wonder to themselves how they happen to be traveling in a machine that had its origins not in Connecticut or Texas but in good ol' Europe.

We, of course, will be able to explain to him that alliances are formed with a price attached. If the 101 was UK's and Italy's price then let that me a lasting memorial to one President's stupidity and naivety.
