Maybe it would be more helpful if you guys would attribute the actions taken
and not taken to *individuals* and power-blocs rather than to states.  That
way this thread would look a lot less like a "my country=good guy, your
country=bad guy" slog.  After all, I hardly think either the U.S. or the
U.K. would fair too well if we look at "their" behavior on the world stage
over the last two centuries.

If you're going to start invoking History and Truth, then provide better
evidence.

Cheers to you both.

You're friendly with the local crack dealer perhaps.

Please get with reality

Fully agree there - heck the U.K. invented concentration camps, but
the Nazi regime is associated with them.

Discussions such as these are easily taken out of context - a
"country" is defined by the decisions taken by the government of that
time, not by the populace as a whole (albeit that the government are
the elected representatives of the populace in many cases). I think a
lot of disagreements come from taking statements encompassing a
situation as a whole and applying to involved individuals - that will
almost never work.

Cheers!
