Sorry you have to resort to childish posts like this, unlike Niall who has an intellect.

You are making gross assumptions about me. You have no idea what I have done before.

And don't be so bitter about when our dads and grand-dads came over and slept with all your women. Over-paid, over-sexed and over-here, you know?

I have never believed this to be the case, if it was so, why Iraq/Afghanistan? There are far more opresive regimes in the world, commiting far more heinous acts on thier people.

And as has been stated in this thread already, there are a handfull of people in America ( although, I'm sure, not exclusivly ), who over the last few years, have made a great deal of profit from the deaths of thier own ( and ofcorse, the percieved enemy )

Its hard to justify what has gone on in the Middle East since we went in to liberate them. Far too many casulties on both sides to even attempt to justify the means.

Off Topic alert!

I wonder how much quicker the U.S Government would have reacted to Hurrican Katrina, if its funds ( and personnel ) wern't tied up in two illegal wars, 1000's of miles from home.
I wonder how the U.S and U.K's economies would have coped with the global financial meltdown, if they wern't pumping billions of capital into a couple of wars they have very little chance of winning*
I wonder if banishing the Taliban from Afghanistan, and replacing them with our choice of rulers, is really going to bring peace and prosperity to the Afghan people ( De ja vu ?? )


* What is the remit for victory? I dont even know

And as for the opinion that we should not question the motives of our governments, and should support the soldiers 100%, in any conflict, does not sit well with me. I like to gather as much info as I feel nessesery to make up my own mind. After all, thats what an educated mind is for.
( I have NO college/university education, I left school in fifth year, I'm no intellectual, please, do not get that impression. I just like to make up my own mind is all)

Phew, i'm gonna need a spliff after all that

The Important factors are whether the regime tows the line or not, and if not, whether they have any support from more powerful countries. It's pretty much just like a primary school playground where sweets are represented by oil, and the military by bigger mates who'll do the thumping at the end of the day.

As usual, you Brits are jumping to conclusions and assuming you knew what I meant, to fulfill your fantasies about Americans.

Well, as usual, you Yanks are jumping to conclusions about British people and assuming that anyone who disagrees with American foreign policy is anti-American.

Furthermore, as to your fantasies about the British, I am NOT British, I am Canadian.
