This writer has good opinions.

If you don’t join us now, when Saddam’s regime falls and Iraqis cheer the US Marines, you are really going to feel like a jackass. And your jackassery will be exposed beneath klieg lights for all to see... The liberation of Iraq and the democratic transformation of the Middle East is the most progressive cause in the world today. It is the right side of history, and if you stand in the way or sit on the sidelines, your liberal humanitarian credentials are toast.

Further, his most memorable speech included this, in regards to the existence of immigration in any form, really:

quote:

As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Roman, I seem to see "the River Tiber foaming with much blood". That tragic and intractable phenomenon which we watch with horror on the other side of the Atlantic but which there is interwoven with the history and existence of the States itself, is coming upon us here by our own volition and our own neglect. Indeed, it has all but come. In numerical terms, it will be of American proportions long before the end of the century. Only resolute and urgent action will avert it even now. Whether there will be the public will to demand and obtain that action, I do not know. All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

Because our political class doesn't respect us (hence brexit and the current unformable government which are payback).

I agree with this take, but also how realistic is it looking right now that the Tories will even take this route

Ya the brexit is like a revolver sitting on a table in 10 Downing St, and whoever wins and gets to be PM has to pick it up and shoot themself in the head with it. Maybe they survive it maybe not, but it comes with the job now.
