Yes it does Keith, you have repeatedly stated that the war "had to be fought" (quoting Paxman of all people, but you have supported that view).

I acknowledged that there was a strong antiwar movement in Britain, but that was prior to the invasion of Belgium.

I have expressed no view of events, politics or diplomacy before the invasion.

After the invasion the government believed that war had to be fought and so did the people.
Current historians do too, with the exception of Ferguson and possibly Adonis.

Does any historian agree with you opinion that the war "could have been ended early."
Is that just a whim or is it based on any actual knowledge?
How could the Germans have agreed to withdraw to their borders, and how could France and Belgium have accepted anything less?

DtG, I think the comrades are desperate for their political arguments to win out over the findings of historians.
All T and I are doing is putting forward the actual history which happens to contradict their politically inspired but baseless views.
