What do you base your assumptions on?

I actually READ the threads and see the remarks made about Aussies and Merkans.
Therefore NOT assumptions but fact.

It's been my observation that brainwashing works both ways. How much examination of your OWN opinions have you done? Comparing Merka to Communism and Nazis is such a distortion of the truth that it is difficult to comprehend your thought processes. Growing up in a council house must leave scars that don't heal.

The British don't seem to acknowledge they invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. It wasn't their first time doing it either, they invaded both those countries in the past. The British invaded Iraq during World War 2 to steal the oil from the people of Iraq. They tend to point the finger at America to take attention away from their own crimes, I find it hypocritical. We would live in a lot safer world if the British people would have mind their own business and never meddled in the affairs of the Middle East, they are the ones who drew up the current borders of the Middle East, which led to the Iraq/Iran war that killed millions, the most deadly conflict in the latter half of the 20 the century, it was over land, land the British gave Iraq I believe. They also were the reason for the other war between Iraq and Kuwait, that too was over land, that was originally Iraqi, but given to the artificial entity called Kuwait. They also created the mother of all conflicts, by giving Israel the Arabs land. There wouldn't be an Israel if it wasn't for Britain, go read you Balfour Decleration and Mandate for Palestine on 1922. Jews and Arabs lived together in relative peace for a milleniums until the British stuck their nose where it doesn't belong. They also are responsible for current day Pakistan, because they created hostility between the Muslims and Hindues who lived in relative peace in the Sub Continent for over one thousand of a years.

Says to me that 2 out of 3 Americans are very poor ametuer lawyers.

Lots of blame to go around. No doubt about that. Good points, Gribbs.

No offense taken. It's just that many seem to think that I'm Merkan because I don't go along with the Yank-bashing here. Some folks have an aversion to thinking for themselves...Merkan and otherwise.

The UK government are sheep who seem content in going against the wishes of their people by following the US Government on it's path which has lead to illegal, unwarranted wars and is leading towards a modern day fascist America.

Happier now?

Most Brits will acknowledge that the UK government wrongly followed the US into Iraq & Afghanistan.

Most Brits are upset that our government is too stupid to learn from history.

Where the US government leads the UK Sheepernment follows. The Labour administration should be tried for war crimes and terrorism just as much as the Bush Reich should.

For good reason, both countries full of illiterate savages that needed to be pacified. But the real reason we waged the First Afghan War was to stop Russian influence furthering East.

Their true colours shone through during the retreat from Kabul in 1842 where the savages gave their word of safe passage then slaughtered non-combatants including women and children numbering some 12,000.

No, that hostility was nothing to do with the British, it just began to manifest itself when the Indians kicked us out. They had been fighting for centuries before the British ever turned up.

And so both ships sink while the idiots argue about who's worst.

At least I have to credit the Brits for being able to stand up and criticize the fools that run their country, on both sides of the political spectrum. And that is the point. The Merkins still sit around and stupidly argue and defend one of the two sides that are sinking theirs, oblivious to the fact that they are all self-serving lying bastards, on both sides.

Stupid, snot-nosed kids pointing to each other crying about who is worst.

You're wrong. A lot of Americans hate George W. Bush, while the majority of British love Winston Churchill who killed millions of people just because the hue of their skin didn't happen to be white. Americans don't point their fingers at Britain either to justify the crimes their government has committed, while the British do. No Brit has ever tried to kill or killed his president/Prime Minister, while Americans have.

You sound like a psychopath. "We civilized them, by killing them!"

Incorrecto, most Brits support their terrorist troops, and call British Muslims "scum" for protesting against them.

Nope, they love Churchill and other British butchers.

The US didn't lead the UK into Iraq. The UK had their own motives, it was the UK intelligence who said Iraq was buying "yellow cake" uranium from Niger, not the US. The UK had a history of invading Iraq and stealing their oil, go read about World War 2.

Hindsight is such a wonderful gift!

Saying that like it or not the threat posed to the freedom of the West by radical islamic supporters (with or without WMD) is unfortunately a fact of life we have to live with or die with.

Making politicians more responsible for their flawed intelligence, spin and downright lies could well be a step in the right direction.

And if it's later proved in a court of law (fairly) that Assange hasn't committed a crime I wonder what additional political dirty washing we can expect to get aired?

There seems to be a lack of any accountability in the UK and US governments and of course many other governments across the globe and certainly electorate apathy brought about by continuing political misfeasance.
