odd little article on Operation Catapult in WWII

I've noticed a disturbing pro-nazi trend in some British articles on the War, and this appears to be one, with it's ambivalent attitude towards a perfectly logical and inevitable course of military action by Britain. I won't bore you with details, but people whining about "poor ol' Vichy" deserve little but contempt. Vichy was an active, if mildly secret, ally of the nazis. Britain did the right thing, no question. Making it out like it was some gesture to get Roosevelt to smile is just being silly.
