I am gathering ol' crossbow has forgotten that for the most part his country is to blame for about 80% of the world's problems, 18% Us and 2% Russia. I never understood why the only country to invade ours, and whose behind we soundly trounced is an ally we seek. Britain in her colonial period drew boundaries, thoroughly dominated and eliminated local culture-they weren't going to allow a repeat of the US independence. Britain and Europe singlehandedly screwed Africa to the point that it will never recover in this century, and those Euro trash whiners come to us and want us to fork over $$$$ to aid Africa. As to Iraq, we should have neve asked for world opinion. French forces regularly ship into African countries without even mentioning it to the UN, under the excuse of being a former colonial power. I picture the Brits like that small dog in Warner brothers cartoons, following the Big dog. The Brits are whining sycophants who complain about us because of their own self loathing. I personally would love to see this country remove itself from NATO, what a waste of time, the UN, and pull all troops from foreign countries and guard our closed borders. Follow that up with a return to the Monroe doctrine. Focus our energies on our neighbors who desperately need our help. South America has oil and resources, and one crooked screwed up political mess. Fix our own hemisphere and to He77 with Europe, middle east and asia. As to Crossbows semetic feelings, Britain contained numerous Nazi Supporters, that is why Adolph thought they would join him. That inbred royal who married the american divorcee was a bootlicking lap dog of Adolph's. With Allies like this, no wonder we have trouble in Iraq.
