In the piece on David Cameron in the Sunday Times magazine last Sunday, the following paragraph leaped out at me:
Cameron does not think the experience in Iraq should put us off intervention – after all, he voted in favour of the war even if he might prefer to forget that now. “Yes, we should be a liberal democracy that believes in the spread of human rights and democracy. Blair’s problem was he was a liberal interventionist without a handbrake.
I agree - and I agree with pretty much everything else in the article.
