RE: Same old anti – US Crap

Rabie,

Seems like you want intervention but are unwilling to face up to the responsibility and the consequences. To bad. Thats what separates the men from the boys.

As far as the US setting themselves appart, thats BS. Its not justice they fear, its a fear of being judged by the same type of people who shoot their neighbour’s 90 year old mother in the back of the head and others who make excuses for those that do.

RE: Same old anti – US Crap

As usual, the Americans, Canadians, and British are over in Europe attempting to prevent the euro racists with the greatest appetite for genocide from raping, murdering and burning their neigbours homes. If you look back to say the mid 19th century, nothing has changed much – same old, same old.

Skythe, Vortex, Jim

I am pleased to see that there are folks on this form who have an open mind and a fair view of the contributions of not only the USA but all the countries who contributed to the defeat of the Axis powers in WWII. Each country did what it could within the limitations of its capabilities and suffered the consequences of its own policies both good and bad, before, during and post war.

The few revisonists and hate mongers here who have the habit of blaming the USA for all past, present (and future) sins actually perform a useful service as they remind the majority of us how sad we would also sound if we were to sing that song.

For some reason Sauron was the name that I thought of when I joined the forum so I used it. My name is Ian.

I don’t have any problem with folks being suportive of their own troops and the contributions they make but why do you have to run down the US forces to do it? Are you so insecure about the real contributions and capabilities of the British troops that you find it necessary to do so?

Just for the record, elements of the US 10th Mountain Division have been deployed in Afghanistan, British troops didn’t play any significant role in the ‘fort’ incident, they haven’t found large quantities of radioactive materials in caves, and they haven’t done anything in the mountains that US and Canadian troops have not done equally well. As far as British Tornados in the Gulf war going in hard and low, yes they did, but their targets were no more difficult that what US pilots had to contend with.

As far as the US military is concerned, if the US is only deploying to Afghanistan because they know they will met no serious opposition, does that apply equally to the British forces as well? It would seem to me that the US military is as well trained and professional as most. I haven’t heard the US president run down the British or any other military.

Anyway we all know that that the British Royal Marines are good because we saw them invade Spain a few weeks ago.

Don’t you really mean that when Europeans and others go to war, “they” invite the US along? Given the history of wars during the last 60 years or so, I am sure thats what you really ment to say. Even the shabby little ‘war’ in Ireland seems to require some degree of US involvement but I don’t believe the US started it. Did the US start WWI, WWII, the Korean war, the Gulf war, the recent series of wars in central Europe? Did the US destroy the World Trade Centre so it would have reason to attack Afghanistan?

As far as George Bush going to Europe, most of the comments above seem quite uncharitable but I suppose given the US role in Europe over the last 60 years, its understandable that some there are a bit prickly and for reasons of pride (?) take offence even when there is no cause.
