During the cold war alot was done in the name of countering the USSR. Today those actions look silly. Supporting Iraq over Iran, giving training aid to the freedom fighters of Afghan, training Osama. At the time we had good reasons to do so. Unfortunatly we did not forsee the reprecusions of some of those decisions. On the whole, it might have been worth it to dismantling the USSR. A war between the 2 superpowers would have ended civilization

Actually we are solving the problem, you just dont like the solution weve come up with. and I would not mind going to war with Turkey either! Im still pissed that they havent renamed Instanbul into Constantinople.nutball said:You might be solving the problem. Lets wait and see shall we. If we can get through this quickly without the US going to war with Turkey!
WTF has Turkiye done to you? Is it just because they aren't thrilled about the war? Perhaps you'd feel differently if there was a wasps-nest next to your house and someone from a different neighbourhood started hitting it with a stick.epicstruggle said:and I would not mind going to war with Turkey either!
Constantine's been dead for centuries. He doesn't care, so why should you?Im still pissed that they havent renamed Instanbul into Constantinople.

I hope you understood I was trying to be sarcastic. I thought it was clear, but if not let me make myself clear that I do not think we should go attack turkey next. We should only do it after we take over france and germany. See sarcasm.Simon F said:I normally stay out of this sort of pointless bickering but...

You are right. My apologies to all americans. But if you "dont care about the outside world" why you are discussing with outsiders :?epicstruggle said:BTW, thanks for making me feel so good, I didnt know that my opinion equated to the American opinion. And I thought I was just a disgrunteld student.
A little history about me. Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, lived there for about 3 years. Went to Campinas, Brasil, lived there for about 10 years. Went back to South Africa, another year there. Then the last 14 some years here in the United States of America. I am a Hindu/Indian in my heart. But if i have to defend any country, Ill defend the US of A.pascal said:You are right.

The fact is nobody is atacking US, this is not a soccer game.
