I'm on Paul's side here, tis Britain has started these wars, but the US has been involved in many more, and really stupid ones! Persian Gulf, you really think the US cared about Kuwait? NO! They were fighting for lower oil bills! OIL! Again, MONEY! Vietnam, what an important war~~ And the US lost, HA!
Britain has a ton more culture than the US. The US is a European country wannabe. Everything here that's "fancy" is European. Our culture is a mixture of other people's cultures.
RICoder, you have become a victim of American propaganda. "You can't beat America!" ads are propaganda. The American pride is propaganda caused by the government to win support for the war! You know where this is going to lead?? Look at this, HAS PATRIOTISM EVER BEEN
GOOD???? Look at Germany during WWII, the government used so much propaganda, that the people agreed with anything the government said, and during the Holocaust, they were blind to it, because of what the government said. In Japan, propaganda manufactured kamikazes. Extreme patriotism = racial/national supremecy. I support patriotism, but there has to be a line. I'm afraid that some time in the future, there will be a genocide of the Arab people in the US, it may sound far out, but it's possible, let WWII be a reminder. Hell, there are already 100s of attacks on Arabic people here.
RICoder, remember when you would say all the errors that the Israeli government has done during the current war? You just focused on that. You have become blind to the errors of the US, a direct result of propaganda, and you're not alone, there's 280,000,000 other people out there.
