: "History is written by the victors." If there's
: one statistic you don't beleive this year, make it
: this one.
Lol.
: Yes, but the US just wanted to destroy Afghanistan. They
: would have left it as a burned-out shithole in a worse
: state than when they got there if their allies hadn't
: managed to convince them that rebuilding Afgahnistan
: was in their own interest. Talk about lack of
: hindsight.
That's not hard to believe...and to be perfectly frank, we were going in there in the first place to **** bin Ladin, not overthrow the Taliban.
: Apparently only recently believed by the USA, who helped
: the war against terrorism by funding the IRA, and by
: training and putting in place the Latin American
: dictators.
"My country 'tis of thee...sweet land of hypocrisy..."
: Israel is in many people's books a terrorist state.
: They've been seen to fire at children who've stayed
: out past curfew time (in Israel-speak, curfew is not
: from hour-x onwards, but they last for entire days.)
Terrorist is a maybe. I would almost certianly call it authortarian though.
: There is no excuse.
to quote FDR. "I hate war."
: Well, vengeance on behalf the blizted cities of the UK
: probaboly had some part ot play, but there was
: actually a strategy. It was believed that by bombing
: the Germans their morale would be sufficiently reduced
: so that they would revolt against the Nazis. Note that
: I saud "a strategy", not "a good/clever
: strategy".
Or a "Ethical/justified strategy."
: Yeah...right. I'm sure that's the reasonin gused for
: killing thousands of people by flying planes into
: them.
: Not likely, Operation Sealion failed, and that was the
: one and only chance that rat-faced twat had of
: conquering the UK, and the aforementioned twat's
: economy was falling apart in the last 2 years of the
: War.
Hitler never even launched operation Sealion. That would have been after the GAF (German Air Force, cann't spell the actual german word) smashed the RAF (Royal Air Force).
Then he would have launched Operation Sealion.
: That I would definately NOT like to see, but why on earth
: does such an oppresive (in the past mainly) nation
: call themselves the Land of the Free?
Japan wouldn't have been able to take over the USA anyway.
And the answer is:
Hypocrisy.
: To whom? To your country or to humanity as a whole? I'd
: think the latter.
Responsibility and American politics are like oil and water.
: You know, I don't think there's ever been a country whose
: population was virtually entirely in the military...
Not that I know of. At no point in the history of the world would that have been true.
: Oh, and Stinger: Yeah, cheers, mate. At least in this war
: you didn't take a few years to decide whether to join
: or not.
This war...
I hate wars fought so that mankind can be enslaved by the power hungry captialists horse ejections.
Now, I applogize for any offense this might give anyone.
God **** the USA up the ****ing ***!
****= swearing censored.
Seraph
He Who Is Ashamed To be American
