And the world’s reaction to Iran, apart from Chavez? Here is an appropriate quote:
The Government simply
cannot make up their minds, or they cannot get the Prime Minister to make up
his mind. So they go on in strange paradox, decided only to be undecided,
resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful
to be impotent.
Sir Winston Churchill, Hansard, November 12, 1936
