Iraq - ABSOLUTELY no threat to our country.

I disagree, and believe history will show I was right.

Afghanistan - revenge for 9/11 - no threat.

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. How freaking dumb can a person be? You effectively admit that Afghanistan had a role in 9/11, yet you think had we not retaliated, they were not a threat to the US?

You're an idiot.

WWII - the Japanese had no plans to invade the mainland US, and the Germans finally decided not to even invade England. WWII was all about saving Europe.

While I've never heard an "invasion" was planned, if you had read a little WWII history (obviously, you haven't) you would know that Japan had multiple plans for bombing the mainland. As I pointed out, they were actually successful with the incendiary balloons in killing a few people here. Had we not been applying pressure in the Pacific, there is little doubt they would have been able to execute the plans they had.

The bombing plans involved bombing LA (this is common knowledge amongst people who have studied WWII), refueling off the cost of Baja, attacking oilfields in Texas, and linking with the German subs (WHICH WERE OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST) for attacks on the Eastern coast.

Furthermore, the Germans were highly effective in sinking freighter and tanker ships just off the coast. 175 ships were sunk along the eastern coast; nearly 50 in the Gulf of Mexico, and nearly 50 at Alaska.

To suggest our mainland wasn't under threat of attack is beyond stupid. Did I mention you are stupid?
