"It is one thing to take over a territory and even pour energy and resources into administrating it and normalizing it," said Williams, a long-standing critic of the Iraq war. "Rightly or wrongly, that's what the British Empire did - in India for example," he was quoted as saying. "It's another thing to go in on the assumption that a quick burst of violent action will somehow clear the decks and that you can move on and other people will put back together - Iraq, for example." http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/World/2007/11/25/4684452-ap.html [Proofreader’s note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on November 26, 2007]
