Hehe, well the is the war of independance, and I think another after that, so 3. And they were all against us!Strange, you can beat us in a war, but you can't beat Vietnam?
The fact that the British actually had uniforms and no 5-year-olds in their ranks certainly made a difference.

Yeah, thats what CIA says as well. That includes Alaskan natives (although one might assume they weren't many to begin with).
However, as far as I understand, Natives in South America are far bigger in numbers today, than there are in N. America.

You know that's not true. There have been more.
But I like how American involvment in the European theater has been ignored in this thread.
Look, I'm the first to stand up and talk about what I dislike about America, it's leaders and it's foreign policy. I can even understand people in other countries who look at the American system and get outraged by the American people, because we're supposed to be the ones in charge of our own country. Well, we aren't. Short of total revolt, I don't see how that's going to change. I'm all for pointing out how lazy and apathetic the American people can be in regards to the actions of it's leaders and it's military.
But it's those same lazy, fat, warmongering people that got up and boarded ships by the millions to fight in Europe. Who's forgetting their history in that regard?

All true, although we were all allies and an Uncle of mine died twenty years later due to truama suffered in a Prisoner of War camp in Japan. I never met him obviously.
America is certainly not an evil nation intrinsically. I blame multi national big business far more than a single nation for the worlds evils.

Sadly, there is little difference between big buisness and the American government.

What are you trying to say.
In 1979 the Iranian revolution took place. This revolution caused the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in corporation with the US government, to increased the US military presents in that country. It was the US military presents in Saudi Arabia that lead to Osama Ben Laden and Al-Qaeda to attack the US on 9-11. Now, this is really over simplified, but I didn’t want to write a lot.

I say again the American people are not evil.
and I say again: I agree.
As for 1979, it started a long time before that. The middle east was where the actual, physical conflicts of the cold war took place. And the cold war was a result of the second world war, which was a result of the first, etc, etc.

Yes, I am aware of the connection to WW1, but I was trying to point out that the conflict is older then current events.

The middle east has been having problems with the christians for way longer. The crusades, that started it, I believe......and it's been going ever since.It's a war that will never end. Never.
I think you'll find we've been having more problems with Muslims 😐
Christianity is so irrelevant in the Middle East. It has been for the past 1400 years.
