David Cameron, indeed! The Americans are talking plainly about "Clinton's War", although they also admit the importance of the French. But in Tobruk, a town well-known to my late father, people are simply waving the Tricolore. So congratulations to the French on looking like the great liberators if this works.

And congratulations to the German, Russian, Chinese, Indian and Brazilian abstainers on being able to clean up commercially whether it works or it doesn't. Would that Britain, America, and indeed France were also living in the real world. But it is Cameron-praising Britain that is furthest removed from reality.
