An Ocean Apart

 

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.  Died a broken man over the Versailles Treaty compromises after suffering a stroke.  But it's interesting to consider in the light of recent events how people do change.  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...
