Oh dear! Best not to read his Wikipedia entry. It contains this.
'Overall, James identified as a liberal social democrat. He strongly supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq, saying in 2007 that "the war only lasted a few days" and that the continuing conflict in Iraq was "the Iraq peace". He also wrote that it was "official policy to rape a woman in front of her family" during Saddam Hussein's regime and that women have enjoyed more rights since the invasion. He was also a patron of the Burma Campaign UK, an organisation that campaigns for human rights and democracy in Burma.'
