Having been skewered by your verbal riposte, I must admit defeat. My comments, ill formed as they were, detracted from the gravity and good sense of this most serious discussion regarding American foreign policy in the Middle East.
It's good to see four years of Yale have not drained you of your incredible intellect as it has your attention to wit and humour.

13: Why ask a question that has such a ridiculous premise that neither the Prime Minister nor any reasonable person would agree with? The Prime Minister never made Britain "subservient" to the United States; every democratic country benefits from defeating terrorism.

How better to integrate these populations into the culture without radically changing the culture of the EU?
