wokkameister,
ROTFL - easy when I'm too old to be sent there
I was surprised, years ago, by Paddy's politics given his background but not to say he isn't giving his honest assessment in this case.
A nation as steeped in international politics (esp THAT area) as ours should have known to keep out.
We did however owe the USA one for assistance with the Falklands etc.
Mind you, with their experience in Vietnam, one would have thought the US would have had the diplomatic nous to leave it to stew in its own juice.
Ah but, of course, no one would mention the elephant in the room which wanted Saddam sorted
