Re: ... Well I meant WW2. Plus you have to remember that alot of the people here are from America. so your making it seem like were bad people and that this is a bad place because its not. The U.S. is a great place and most of the people( about 80%) want peace.
Actualy, alot of the people here are european its only recently theres been a surge of americans coming in.

America installed pro-american government into Afganistan, when it was only meant to be hunting down Al-Queda.
So you would rather have the Taliban back in power, supressing women, and blowing up ancient statues. Now that is destroying culture.
Actualy, they are back in power, and the pro-american government you installed havent done much about it.

Well this is a touch subject. And if I remember correctly weren't the British originally responsible for the creation of a Jewish homeland??
The british didnt help make it, they protected Jews for awhile, as their terrorist groups helped allied forces against Germany. After though, they turned on us again, so Britian pulled out supporting them. Thats when America stepped in, the president was paticularly pro-Jew, and the Jewish used him by declairing their independance and hoping he would reconise them as a country ( which he did ).

Re: ... Japan started WW2 ?
Lmao, what DO they teach you in your schools ?
They don't teach us anything, thats the problem.
Actualy, they are back in power, and the pro-american government you installed havent done much about it.
I think saying they are back in power is stretching things quite a bit. I know they have militants running around but thats not what i'd call back in power.

The British did help make it, they helped protect the Jewish while they were resettling Palestine. Given that they aided the Jewish so much, and almost right up until their independence, it is safe to say they did help in the creation of a Jewish state.

Re: ... First off we would not have had WW2 if it was not for Japan. We are not the ones that bombed Pearl Harbor. We would have never have had the war.
Re: ... Now I know it might be hard to think of the world outside America, but Japan certainly did not start WW2, it was Germany and Austria.
Japan bombed pearl harbor later in the war to render America paralised so it couldnt get involved. If they didnt bother, America would have never joined the war cause quite frankly at the time they didnt give a crap about the people dying in europe.
The only problem though was some of the ships were on their monthly manouvers (sp?) or something, so not all of them were hit. If it was a day earlier or later, America wouldnt have been able to join the war if it wanted to or not, and I'd probably be speaking german now.
WW2 happened cause of WW1 me laddo, which you wernt part of much.

Re: ... I knew that, but what I meant was we didnt get invoued until then because we did not want to get in the way because we did not want to take sides.
Re: ... Well thanks, on one side we have racist germans killing off Jews on one side, and western europeans fighting to survive on the other, and YOU DIDNT WANT TO TAKE SIDES ?

Re: ... We didn't have concrete evidence that the Germans were committing such atrocities at the time, thus that is not a factor.
The US was hesistant to join WWII for a few reasons. First we were appalled by the losses incurred during the first world war, and before you start spouting off casualty statistics let me remind you that the US hadn't seen a war of that scale since the Civil War which was about 55 years prior. Many people openly opposed going to war for this reason. The US was still in a depression and many people adamantly believed we shouldn't get involved in foreign affairs.
Japan bombed pearl harbor later in the war to render America paralised so it couldnt get involved. If they didnt bother, America would have never joined the war cause quite frankly at the time they didnt give a crap about the people dying in europe.
So I guess thats why we were sending large amounts of material aid to those fighting the Axis powers.
The only problem though was some of the ships were on their monthly manouvers (sp?) or something, so not all of them were hit. If it was a day earlier or later, America wouldnt have been able to join the war if it wanted to or not, and I'd probably be speaking german now.
Yup the aircraft carriers were out on maneuvers. Even with them still afloat the US was greatly outnumbered but we didn't have much of a choice then but to fight.

Re: ... If you payed any attention you would know about the hassle that the US was revoulving at the time. We didnt know if they were lying or telling the truth.
