Yes.  I crushed my enemy, drove him before me, and heard the lamentations of his women.

It's unbelievable :mellow:

There's strong support in Socialist-led France for supporting the US (led by an pleasant enough Democrat) for intervening, and a British Tory government (!) won't be joining in :blink:

I saw in Le Monde today that there was something around 70% support among les socialistes for intervention, but only around 45% in the country as a whole.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I think he sells cars here in town.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Apparently the last time a PM's recommendation to use force was rejected by Parliament was in 1782 :blink:

That was when the Prime Minister wanted to continue in the American War of Independence and the Commons rejected it :blink:

That's called following the party and/or President's line. The conservatives are split and the FN are against it as seen in the Monde article you are referring. Commies and Greens are not mentioned which is a shame since they are not hawks generally, yet allies of Flanby, at least for government positions.

New Europe is getting older it seems, since Poland, among others, is against intervention  :D

What's with all this talk of "intervention"?  Nobody's intervening anywhere.
