My point is that the hypocrisy of using the atrocities carried out against the Belgian people (undisputed) as an excuse for going to war, was just that - hypocrisy.

It was not Jim.
Britain was treaty bound to defend Belgium.
Were it not, Britain would still have had to fight for its own security.
But, ordinary people were angered by the massacres of thousands of ordinary people and children.

That is what the historians say.
Who are you Jim Carroll to say they are all wrong and you right?

(Yes Greg. I said all. If you want to challenge that again, come up with some names this time.)
