Re: [A-List] Britain/US split: Iraq, Palestine
Douglas Hurd:
".....The idea that in Iraq an American
general, like Douglas Macarthur in Japan in 1945, could invent and impose
new democratic institutions is a classic example of the danger of false
comparisons. The Japanese were shocked into total submission by the atom
bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki....."

The same nasty parallel occurred to me.
