However, i believe that England shouldn't have helped USA in the Iraq war it was utterly pointless, and we are losing our soldiers, troops, Specialists to another country that never even fought for us or USA! I say let them do their own battles! We did so!

I couldn't disagree more with that statement Combo, we should think of the world as a global co-operative community instead of the antiquated view of "us and them" and we might just move forward as a species. That said, your more than entitled to your opinion, we shall beg to differ.

Even though I don't believe in the war. Your justification is insanely flawed. The US HAS helped Britain and Europe many a times ww1,ww2. Don't say we've never done anything to help.


But can't we just have Fucking peace already?

yes, usa usually tends to come "helping" right after the war itself is starting to settle down

In ww1 the USA didn't come in until late but it sent a lot of aid and support through troops too the other Allies. WW2 we also came in late but still have a higher military casualty number higher then the United Kingdom and many other of the major ciountries involved in the war. Revionist history much R.U.S.S.?

It appears i should put my reply in a more simple structure...

For USA and Britian there was no point in attacking Iraq, Iraq has never done anything for either countries! And they should in turn sort their own problems out!

To say that the USA were not a major contributing factor to the defeat of the axis is pure insanity. Open up a history book and look at the facts its pretty bloody self explanatory. As for Iraq, as I aforementioned Hussein was an evil butcher and he also had a stake in the worlds oil production and had to be removed, seems to me the only country in the world with the guts to stop this mad man was the US (I think the UN is as about as useful as a condom machine in the vatican). Im no lover of US policy but i'll give them this, they know how to get shit done!

Yeah, US troops sucked. That makes sense. The simple fact of the war is that it would not of been won without American Support. I am not saying you need to know your role. I am saying your history revisionism is a joke. The russians at the rate they were going would of been extinct by the end and would of HAD to surrender if the war went much longer. You can't sustain a war effort when more then 12 percent of your entire population is dead as a result. Thus without the American's along with the rest of the allies the war would of turned much differently, I'm not saying go america but the idea that one of the closest wars in history could of been won without America is absurd.
