An early application of biological warfare.

That's not an answer to the question "They [Native Americans] thanked you for wiping out entire tribes with that intentional smallpox infestation yet? :-)"

Something like Saddam was working on, before he was so RUDELY interrupted.

If you've got evidence that Saddam was working on biological weapons before US invasion, you should have told Powell about it, so that he would not look like such a dummy in front of the UN Security Council while pointing at aerial photos of some caravans as his "proof" :-)

You want an apology for unseating Saddam?

Not for unseating Saddam, but for the pointless invasion of Iraq and killing thousands and thousands of Iraqi civilians. If all you wanted was to unseat Saddam, that you could do with a sniper's bullet.

French troops sorta, kinda helped knock off Hitler. (Actually, as best I can determine, their "contribution" consisted of leading the pasrade into an already captured Paris.) Have the French apologized to the Germans for that?

Be serious. Iraqis your army killed were not soldiers occupying North America. They were sitting in their own country when YOUR army invaded THEIR home.

The dasintily civilized Europeons missed no opportunity to criticize we crude, rustic, and violent Americans in the run-up to the Iraq war.

To which you Americans respond by chants of how God is with your country which is charged by defending good over evil around the world or some such. So what?

Their hand-wringing indecision resulted in 6 million dead Jews, 20 million dead Russians, and an estimated 25 million dead of other nationalities.

I see. So Germans' WWII aggression in general and their genocide of Jews in particular was the fault of France?

>>>LOL! You still think I am an American posting from Ohio? -g-<<<
I know of no evidence that contradicts that theory. Do you?


I do, actually, it's called real life and it is happening around me as I type this. Anyway, I take this obsession of yours as a compliment on my English :-)

The following is presented in evidence:

Argh. Really, Laz, don't get them started again. It took me long enough to explain to the lesser gifted among the two that
that was a bait I laid for them, with the specific purpose of showing to the world how dirty they would get once they got any personal information, even nationality.

MD: I'll guess you're from Angola.
zonder: I am from Angola. Happy now? (Let's see what the clowns can dig up on Angola just to spite me :-)

And they proceeded to do just that. At least MD was bright enough to realize what was going on pretty quickly, but it took the RainyDayFoxlette a LONG time to get it. She was still calling me "Leona from Angola" on various threads (and seemed to think that was an insult) a long time after that.

If, say, we have strong reason to believe NK is going to launch on the US, and we launch to prevent it, I'd call it justified

I would, too. But... remember the boy who cried wolf? US state claiming it has "strong reason" to believe another country is a danger might not be so credible next time.
