Also, when I said America have screwed up a lot of countries, I didn't mean taking them over as such, but just invading when it has absolutely no relevance at all. e.g Vietnam, and in my opinion Iraq, when it happens

We could always "secure peace in our times" the way chamberllin did. oOo:

That's a cool memorial Gerard. That's what this thread was originally about, right?

Seriously, this could go on forever. Stop. Swallow your pride and move on.

Yeah, you have a point. As far as the IRA thing goes, I have my view on it, but I dont have enough info/background to make an informed comment, and it doesnt look like there are too many unbiased opinions here. Maybe we should just let this one die quietly...

Yup, unfortunately certain people seem to be trying to put words into my mouth when the whole point of the thread was to show pics of it.

oOo:

Albeit some rather slanted ones freak:

are you trying to say that WW2 was Chamberlain's hence, Britain's fault?

who ever had taken those pics must have 1 arm shorter than the other not 1 straight lol.........up the RA

I was saying that the pacifist approach of 'negotiating peace' with aggressors doesnt work. It didnt stop hitler, it wouldnt have stopped the n vietmanese, and it definately wouldnt have slowed down huessein. BTW we didnt invade either of those countries, we were working to stop the invaders.

Obviously, WWII was not soley britians fault. It was the harsh penalties imposed on Germany by ALL the victors of WWI that made the situation ripe for a personality like hitler to emerge.

Personally, I have no beef with the British, they are one of the few contries that will always stand with the US, not just when it is convenient.

OH MY GOD! STOP IT!

*hums "why can't we be friends"*
