Korea? European powers? European powers, even the British of the French had nothing to do with Korea.. Korea was the first time the UN had ordered troops into combat to enforce one of their resolutions. I believe it was the one dividing Korea in half.
Dubcek was a Czech, not a Hungarian. Our controversial hero was called Nagy Imre, you will know his name if you know it at all as Imre Nagy. Your choices seem also a little bit whacky, especially that we did number 3 and have been defeated. This was 1956(we use here this date as a phenomenon). And it is easy to say that win your freedom, but England is not the Soviet U
Wilson opposed it, but that means nothing in itself. What did he to enforce his ideas? His country financed the war from 1916 on. It was his army which saved the French, thus the Entente from collapsing. There were there the famous Fourteen Points of him.. Results? He let loose a new barbarian era in Central and Trans-Europe. Opposing means nothing in itself. And you seem
Paladin---I'm not sure you know, but you don't have to make individual replies to each and every point and person. You can just go up and down the thread, highlighting and quoting each point, and it'll put it all into one reply. Yeah but this way I can keep to one point rather than answering with a shotgun. It is harder to lose a point in the mi
It seems quite easy for America (the whole continent), with it's mighty 400 years of history, to critize countries who have hundred, no, Thousands of years of past cultural warring, grudges, and others.. You just don't realise the luck of america (and canada) of being a "new" country, with not huge past to hold on it's shoulders. Yup we
Paladin, you twist our arguments. Twisting is changing the meaning as well as the facts. Aside from that you make up facts, based on your own perception. Then in support of those facts, you don't provide anything which helps you conclude those ideas, no websites, no books I can look up in the librbary, no digital media, nothing. Just well this is why I think and it's fact.
I have to apologize to everyone I made a mistake. It happens because I do this from memory and don’t spend time looking up my facts. Being old I erred and I am sorry. It was not TIME MAGAZINE it was NEWSWEEK. It was not June first it was May 9th I am so sorry! (CNN) -- Newsweek magazine issued a retraction Monday of a May 9 report on the alleged desecration of the Quran at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
But of course I see saving the world is not an universal viewpoint. If you do something good, it is saving the world. If not, then no problem, it happened, you cannot save everyone. The reality is, that America acted as they saw fit in their interests. I don't blame you for it, this is political reality. But then don't say please you saved everyone. <

You are correct, European powers begged us to save them when they were losing WWI, WWII, the Cold War, Korea, Vietnam, and Kuwait. WWI the French begged us for help. WWII the French begged us for help, the UK asked us for help. Europe created NAT
Maybe you don't see, but Europe and America are natural allies, a strong European Union would be better for the U.S than some loose group of countries. A weak E.U cannot defend itself against the hordes of Muslims immigrants, and if we got destroyed you will remain pretty much alone on the world scene. If we are doomed, you will be doomed too. I
Oh well, you know WW1 wasn't about saving the world from the back-then not so evil Germans, but about American loans to the Entente powers. After defeating them, who just wanted a bigger slice of the cake - I note, German imperialism was the same like British or French- the British and the French received even more colonies, while Germany got nothing, nay - they've got to
But, they can do something by doing what they can to make sure it doesnt happen. Yes, it may happen...but they can try to make it happen less. Silent Poet, There will always be law breakers. The people in the military are forced to go through these classes every year they are in the military. It is put in their record that they took the
"Waterboarding is not a mean of torture" It is uncomfortable but since we use it on Americans I don't count it as tortuer. It is not that bad unles you are prone to panic. Yes, it was done to me.
Until you can prove it, or i find it. I'm calling BS. Get a copy of the June 1 2006 issue of Time Magazine. Local library has one on file or they should. Then get the issue two weeks later where they printed the retraction.
The problem of global warming, real or perceived, would be better solved by putting resources i.e. capital from capitalism, into it when it materializes as an actual problem. As of right now, a slight increase in temperature change, which could just as likely be a cyclical solar system phenomenon as additional "greenhouse" contamination of the atmosphere, isn't a real prob
Global warming is not so fast in normal circumstances. It is a shame Americans put "their"(their capitalists') business interests before their own interests and before the interests of everyone else. And then some of you are wondering, why there is "America-hating". Weather irregularities, bad crops, flooded cities will teach the lesson to America. Problem is, it i
So second hand inhaliation of smoke doesn't cause cancer, and lead to death? I know you won't believe this but I have not seen any proof that smoking will kill you. Sure it can cause health problems but I find it disturbing that there are less people smoking in the US and more people dying of cancer. Might it have to do with the three rockes that
By the way if you answer this myth, ummmmm are you really advocating we leave the planet ASAP or at least start working (urgently) on a way to prevent a problem that is prehaps 1-5 billions years away? I looked at the sites you listed have not changed my mind. My best calculations bring us to 150k years before the oceans start to boil. Sure in 5
"When the log rolls over we shall die, we shall die. When the log rolls over we shall die." What makes you think we can stop the earth from its cycles? Global warming may be happening, but it's happened before and it is only our arrogance that makes us think we can stop it. This is so true! But tree huggers around the world think that if we stop
Humanity will not live long enough to colonize space. Not at the rate we are going.

Mr. Greene replied: Would this be another one of those facts you are making up? Mr. Greene, Have you read the UN report on second hand smoke? I don't mean the su
Super, what's your new degree going to be in? Theoretical astro physics, I think I have found the flaw in the theory of relativity as well as Hawking’s theory of time are wrong and I am working on proof.
You are correct, I cut up my Amex platnum and gold cards, Visa and Mastercards are gone. I paid off my house and car. I quit my job and started my own business and retired a few years ago. I did all of that in the 90's Nice to see someone else has figured it out.
How about those photos, like the one with the men forming a human pyramid...? The people responsible for the photos are in jail.
i.e. We train latin american countries interrogation individuals in torture. Yes, we did and still do teach it to other countries. Does not mean we are allowed to do it. Oh well.
