Well exactly. It is not as if they suddenly as soon as a republican was elected changed their minds and then they were lied to so convincingly that they voted for the war. Sure would be convenient to believe that though if you just want to bash the other side.

The "other side" is neither the party of Hilary Clinton or George W. Bush. I await them being held accountable for their crimes, but I'm not holding my breath.

Over there they had the right and over here we had the left and together hand in hand they led the charge of the war crimes, then magically transformed it into righteousness, with the wave of a Hollywood wand.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

All for nothing now since the current administration pulled out and let ISIS take over what we accomplished.

I guess you can overlook the fact that being a military juggernaught has kept the US safe and the fight off US soil. I guess that's not a big fact for you.

You figure that the Gandhi-led protests did not indicate anything? Maybe I don't understand what you mean by "indicate". to me, Gandhi's protests clearly indicated that large numbers of Indian people wanted greater autonomy. The British response at the Amritsar Massacre indicated that the people were justified in wanting change. What do you mean "indicate" in this context?

That result is more dependent on geography.

Countries who haven't been invaded in almost a century:

Argentina
Bolivia
Canada
Chile
England
Mexico


The list goes on...

Miltary Juggernaughts?

or not?

Minor border incursions don't count, or else we would have to count what's going on at the US mexico border right now. Thus negating your premise that the homeland is a safe zone.

Any guesses as to which country was the most recent to invade Mexico and Canada?

Yes- The United States invaded Canada during the American Revolution. And, of course, we also invaded Mexico during the Mexican war.

Maybe- but when we got there the Canadians were so polite we just said, "Sorry about that," and left. Smile

Sorry about that whole White House fire thing. We should have been more careful.

Well, even though you were British subjects at the time, we never really blamed the Canadians for that.

Staying on topic is something that you haven't been concerned with in the past. Why now? (Didn't you manage to get abortion into the thread?)
