So long, Dubya

Well my dear X, if they have been fighting so damn long and for every reason under the sun then get off our backs about fighting them, they obviously have a culture built on conflict, we're just obliging them

Europe was fighting wars pretty much nonstop up to 50 years ago, during which time there's been similar peace in the Middle East. America has racked up over 80 foreign interventions since WW2. The problems there started when vast quantities of oil was discovered there. The Brits just happened to be the world's superpower at that time and most in need of that oil. If it'd been discovered 50 years later the US would have total authorship of the recent problems there.

I'm not on anyone's back about fighting them.

I am an ex-soldier and don't oppose wars as a matter of principle. The Brotish Army is fighting side by side with the US and we bury our boys every day, just like you do.

I started this thread saying George W Bush is an idiot. I still think so. I will always think so.
