Since when are the Engalish, Spaniards, Grecians, Hungarians, Poles, and the 80+ nations "Americans"? I seem to read in the statement you made that you mentioned only "Americans". As far as "our" actions, I recognise that a LOT of people who remain on the sidelines -- usually in front of their tubes -- use the word "we". I am not against taking just action but as I quickly learned (when I was subject to be sent wherever in the World for 20 years)(including Iraq for which action I volunteered) that reruns are not as impressive as the original show, the show that was ill-conceived and improperly concluded. Even Schwartzkopf and a few other high ranking military men agree with this point. As far as the other countries, I don't consider a group of nations that lived under the totalitarian jack-boot for who knows how long to be particularly representative of anything. Are they going to send their men and women into battle? The Engalish and Spaniards have been imperialist (if not fascist) from waayyy back (something in their genes? jeans?) The Engalish should be held accountable for the way they screwed up the region 80 years ago (including the introduction of the possibility of chemical warfare against the Kurds [Hussein is not an original thinker]). I consider them to be the PRIME entity! Read up on Gertrude Bell (I posted something about her in the last few days). As far as the French screwing up since whenever (as you proposed the other day), the Engalish have succeeded in making more messes around the world than almost any other country (as they were once the possessors of the Empire on which the Sun never set). Middle East, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, India, Kashmir, Pakistan, Burma, Afghanistan, Dunkirk ... just a few of the "successes" they have left in their wake. And what's even more illustrative of this is the fact that Jack Straw came out some months ago and admitted as much. And, lest we forget, the United States divorced itself from the Empire because its people got tired of royal halfwits running their lives. As far as the French being liberated on the backs of the Americans, the Engalish have received who knows how much support in two World Wars that makes what the French took look like a pittance. All that to save a branch of the Saxe-Coburg (renamed to "Windsor" 7-17-17) royal family and its subjects. More directly, if they aren't putting their people on the firing line, the countries are non-entities. Some people gain admission to the game just because they like the fresh air, hot dogs, and beer.
