Are you at all familiar with the following ..."THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW THE PAST,ARE DAMNED TO REPEAT IT." ?

Look kid,you are just digging such a deep hole,you are never going to be able to extricate yourself.FYI...what you just said about Iraq,is what was said about Germany and Japan.Those who said that almost 60 years ago,were just as wrong back then,as you are right now and they knew more than you do.

Okay,let's,by all means,forget all about WW II! Instead,let;'s talk about WW I,what transpired in Paris in 1918 and what the aftermath of the Treaty of Versailles wrought.Oh and yes,one really can trace ALL of the ills/wars/problems of the rest of the 20th century and the very early years of the 21rst.at the feet of Clemenceau and Woodrow Wilson and to a much lesser extent,Lloyd George.

The ONLY "silly" person here is you!

Heck, I'd be happy if he just gave a clue about his age.

Although I think his silence on that topic speaks for itself

its totally inappropriate to compare the war in iraq with how we dealt with germany and japan. i know we were taught in school that we were supposed to be nicer to germany after ww1 so we are to blame for ww2 but thats bull. lasting empires dont set up the countries they defeat with better infrastructure and overall system of government than was there when they first arrived and then leave them alone. its pointless anyway because we arent going to be able to overcome the influence of islam. the war on islam needs to be won before we start transforming them into civilized people. asking muslims to adopt a democracy with freedom and human rights is like asking a christian to support abortion and paganism. its just not consistent with their beliefs.
