well, thats not a very grown up attitude is it now toastedcheese? perhaps I had something to say towards the bottom of the post that ISNT (in your eyes) blatantly ignorant? Also, I would like to say i am NOT blatantly ignorant and I resent that statement!
(actually can i just take this opportunity to say, please be careful the way you word things on forums, so many ppl get banned for no reason becuase one word they put change the whole meaning of the post and a small personal war ensues)
back to the plot - fair enough, what you say does strike some truth. But need we continue to make mistakes? World politics isa very complicated and twisted web of affairs, and i dont pretend to know everything about everything (far from it, im just a youngster and so cant!)
however from waht i can remember from my A Level history course (last year....) the US did indeed take a VERY intravert policy STR8 after the second world war, and did something similar after the 1st as well. Now i KNOW there is a big difference between this situation and either of the WW's but the similarities in the polictical areas at least are very striking in parts. All im saying is that this war is war for wars sake. War is NEVER good but of course its never inevitable, in this case it most definately is, and the repercussions are going to echo into the future for both the US but more so for the UK (becuase we r so dependant on the US and the US ONLY now, whereas the US can satnd on its own two feet)
i hope you managed to get through all of THIS one
