Perhaps it would be a good idea to return to the mediaeval practice of the King riding to war at the head of his army, and we might see a lot less agression.

IMHO, of the three under discussion, the only one that would have done so was Thatcher. She was the one with the balls to have gone ashore with the troops in the Falklands.

Does anyone imagine that Bush or Blair would have started the invasion of Iraq, if they had to lead from the front? Dream on.
