i think we are grown up enough to be able to govern ourselves without an admin telling us whats what (no offence but any person can judge for him/her self if they will get involved in the discussion.) and until now there have been no personal attacks.
This thread isnt anti-Amercian. Atleast its not anti-Americans (as in attaking the people). Its is a political debate.
what I meant to say (or what I meant but did put to words too well) is that America has never experienced the losses of war. Europe has suffered through countles wars and knows the cost in human lives is too high.
War of 1812. Excuse me? Britain and France pulled you into it? You showed up at the Canadian border and said "we're annexing you." Canada said no, and fought back. The war of 1812 was an attampted invasion by the US.
The Mexico War: Oh no, those Mexicans must be tough. Wow, you fought Mexico, big deal. You yourself claim that through the war you gained

of land, and since when is Mexico considered a formidable opponent.
I love it how America thinks whoever is not against them is evil and stupid. the only person who can watch CNN without laughing is an American.
BTW do you really believe Bush is after freedom etc. Oil man, its the biggest industry in the world. America is stationing troops in the Middle East and it'll be 10 years before they start pulling out. Can you honestly be so naive as to think that America is doing this for anyone's benefit but their own.
