    I'll take that statement back, since it's unlikely that it would ever happen. The way your homeland security is organised, it is based on Terrorist attacks, and not a war with a foreign invading country. Because you have never thought of the possibility that it would ever happen. Which it would'nt.
    Well, it looks that way now anyway. But everything changes. Rome fell, why not the USA?

    Nothing is permanent, and one day, maybe even Denmark will be a Superpower. Until then, keep making those wooden shoes, or whatever it is you do.

    Go ask a South Korean sometime what they think of America. Or anyone else below the 38th parallel that isn't under communist control, for that matter.
    Read this

    France got us into that one. And wouldn't go so far as to say "beaten silly." It's not like we were invaded twice in 40 years, or anything.
    read this

    The french where already out of Vietnam 8 years before US involvement.


    Ask a Kuwaiti sometime what they think of our involvement in the Guld War. I talk to one every week through my job. He named his daughter America.
    read this
    The Kuwaitis hate America as much as any Arab would say he does.

    Yeah. REAAL good argument. Use some wise-ass prejudist joke, or use the old "U would be eating Kraut"-cliche. Can't u come up with something better?
    And no, we're not eating kraut or drinking vodka (metaphorically, of course we do)
    , but we're eating cheeseburgers from McDonalds, drinking coke, and watching nothing but american B-movies, it's just the other way around, see?
    And u can't use that argument to a chech, or a pole. Why were'nt these countries saved? because you where allies with the sovjet, and a deal was made. The survival of the world depended on either superpower, so we "small" countries had to bow down to a lesser evil. Did we have a choice? It was not about being anti-american or not, it was all about trying to survive from a nuclear holocaust.

    Forget it, they don't share the same experience as we do:

    1.) The never had one of their cities firebombed.
    2.) None of their Citiies were ever so fully destroyed that not a single glass-pane remained intact.
    3.) They never suffered 5~10yrs under occuption forces.
    4.) They never had travel restrictions and similar imposed by occupation forces.
    5.) They never were "invaded" and occupied by enemy troops.
    6.) Besides a few minor wars they never had to defend their homes from invaders.
    7.) They never were annexed and had a goverment imposed on them and were prosecuted for supporting the old one.
    8.) They never saw their neighbours, families and friends taken to camps and death for sundry reasons.
    9.) They never had to rebuild their country from rubble & destruction.

    Cheers.

    P.S.: I am NOT getting involved in this discussion.

    German? Austrian? Danke Schön for your help

    Another point: European countries have made up, and are friends. We have realised that war is not the solution, after our continent was nearly fully destroyed. That is not the American way of thought, because the US knows that if they fail in a war, they can pack up their gear and leave, home to your cosy homes, while European countries knows the consequences of war, because our potential enemy would be right across the border, not on the other side of the globe.

    It should make Sun Tzu feel better about his snapshot skillz, anyway. I mean, I know I'm no matinee idol, but - D@MN! I was smiling and everything, too. Or I thought I was.
