The former Yugoslavia, civil war and ethnic cleansing ... they are about on par with the US, albeit on a smaller scale. France, war in Africa and Southeast Asia. You have your Vietnam, and the French lack the ethnic cleansing, and apartheid part. I'd give France the better mark, but it's a close race. The rest of the European nations are way down on the "worst" list compare to the US.
There, that's my comment.
GScholz, that's about the most ignorant and idiotic thing I've read here in quite a bit.
While most countries have done many things that are abhorent, I think that the United States would rank among the historically most altruistic of nations.
Of course we have out faults, and of course we have made mistakes, but the intentions and ideals of THE PEOPLE of the US are undeniable, and your relentless PR against the general and common goodwill of the people of my country causes us to doubt your intentions.
I'm glad we were able to give you the opportunity of freedom that you have, and the ability to speak your mind, but the ideals that have sprung forth, and the information that you take as truth, regardless of the facts that are presented to you, make me hope that you are not representative of your fair country.
