I think you miss my point.

The UK contributed to this 'MAD' global instability. It contributed by doing the exact same thing as it has done with Iraq and Afghanistan. Concur with and aid US foreign policy. With JFK it was almost complete annihilation. Where is the hatred of JFK from the UK as compared to GWB?

Sorry if I did but I was saying that if things had gone wrong with JFK then we wouldn't be here, however he won, and the world loves a winner.

Did the arms race lead to global instability? What would have happened if the US or Russia or Both had not developed overkill? perhaps a topic for another thread?

I have seen some very sobbering documentaries surrounding those events and they were quite the eye opener...:eek:

Do you think JFK was done in by LBJ or some other group? I often wonder why the truth never has seemed to surface...

Of course, not unlike our agreement in Panama.

You mean like when you decided to invade the country and carry out another regime change cause the leader there didn't like America running the country, just,like the current one:rolleyes:

Funny how you guys can make all kinds of personal attacks, misrepresent the fact, change history, and generally remain obtuse, while your countrymen have the nerve to say I'm getting the fundamentals wrong.

Bah...

No pots, when we build the canal the French failed at. Then we gave them a lease that ran out roughly at the same time as your lease in China.

Which I already knew was not a war effort, but I couldn't resist throwing it in.

Really? I always understood that a bad call from Hitler (something to do with air superiority and pride) kept them from blitzkrieging yawls pansy assess, as well as the Polls.

Yes I do agree you held them off but in the end without a combined effort by both the British and Americans that war would have gone to the Germans.

Starting to exercise your new authority?:D

I hope your responibilities don't inhibit your posting, R & C need a real challenge, GML and J make too many basic errors to be a serious opponent for them.

Brian

Name some. And not the ones supported by Rich's Metamorphosed History.

The finest literature, to which I was referring, was the collective works by Patrick O'Brian.

Oh what a talent that man had.

As insightful and comprehensive as any American writer.

Anyway he spoke often of individuals resenting there saviors, apparently quite a lot of British people suffer from this phenomenon. And having recently read some of his books I can certainly see where he got his inspiration.

I see. plagiarising somebody elses work, do you have any original thoughts of your own? :rolleyes:

That's the correct version and not the one taught in American schools

Can you post in English so we can try and understand your comments.

You've forgotten Russia, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, The Free French, India, the various resistance factions,etc. etc.

Which part of history are we supposed to have changed?:confused:

Thank you Rich!
Our brave but misguided soldiers have died for Ol' Blighty in many wars.
Then after WWII we decided to hitch our wagons to another star & have died for the US in several more invasions... uh I mean wars (I think)

History is written by the victors. Fact of life.

jsanders said:
Just about anything you write about.

Which the US is just as guilty of, if not more so - cross ref most US made films - U-571 springs instantly to mind.

However, kudos to the US movie makers who freely admit that 'Nam (for example) was NOT a victory.
(kudos removed for Saving Private Ryan for not mentioning the part the other allies played :( )
