#1 It's always our fault.

"Attacking the West for arming Mujahideens in Afghanistan in late 1970s"

We should have left these dirtbags to the Soviets.

#2 The funny thing is, they've already had experience with an "EU kind of set-up". It was called the British Raj.

If the British had left 20 years before, there would have been no partition

#7 If the British had left 20 years before, there would have been no partition

Or if they had left five years later, since both the main forces pushing partition, Gandhi and Jinnah, would have been dead. That said, both Indian sides got what they wanted despite the best efforts of every Viceroy until Mountbatten. All that vain, pompous, lying lefty jerk wanted was out and he didn't care what it took--or who it hurt--to get Britain there. Wavell has my sympathy and admiration, Mountbatten nothing but my contemptuous disdain.
