Well said but not surprised!
ReplyDeleteI ought not to have been surprised, either. I'm certain I have for some time been hearing faintly the jingling of thirty pieces of silver from the direction of Wellington...

ReplyDeleteAye, well... There are times I feel that our political leaders are insisting upon its citizenry to adopt one of two attitudes: [a] 'My country is always right'; and [b] 'My country, right or wrong.' The one is just plain arrogant and stupid; the other led to the Nuremburg trials. Well did Sam Johnson observe: 'Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.'
