Ed Balls Zitate

It was a mistake. On the information we had, we shouldn't have prosecuted the war. We shouldn't have changed our argument from international law to regime change in a non-transparent way. It was an error for which we as a country paid a heavy price, and for which many people paid with their lives.

Wir hätten unser Argument nicht vom Völkerrecht zum undurchsichtigen Regimewechsel ändern sollen. Es war ein Fehler, für den wir als Land einen hohen Preis bezahlt haben und für den viele Menschen mit ihrem Leben bezahlt haben.
