    Well ironically he’s right about that, Europe should have put a stop to the warmongering of Bush Jr and his little toothless puppy dog Tony Blair. That war should never have been allowed to happen in the first place.

      Bush could have done it without the UK and Poland. Not that their support didn’t matter at all, but I don’t think they could have prevented that war.

      Sanctions against the US could have been a good idea, except it basically would have meant destroying NATO.
