never professed to conduct its wars on the basis of the much vaunted "values" that you keep harping on about: freedom, democracy,...

England was never that kind of country and in many regards is still is or thinks it is, hence the deep-seated moral crisis it is going through now. It should have overthrown its establishment long ago like the French did. It would have gained a lot and not least better food: the French acquired a taste for good food after the revolution when thousands of unemployed chefs who previously were employed by the nobility, started opening restaurants up and down the country. Thats just one exemple of what it would have gained.
