Today I watched a bit of David Dimbleby's classic 80s documentary "An ocean apart". Amazing how Woodrow Wilson went from a complete isolationist to founder of the League of Nations.

And also the limits on Presidential power. Wilson wanted to completely halt the sale of arms to Britain but Congress wouldn't let him do it. Ok, that's enough Alistair Cooking for today...
