No country in the world has started more wars in history than US. ...

One problem with the US though I like the country and its ppl, it's the politics of it all.
Their is alot that need to be said. But I am not the right person for that. All I hope for now is that Obama takes over and kick the shame full GWB to the curb.
But basicly I agree with Fabian Fnas...

There is a saying that, when it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then there is a great likelyhood it really is a duck.
No country is involved in this great number of wars as US is. I back off a little who started what war, but why be involved i ...[text shortened]... An example of this is the invasion of Iraq to find mass destruction weapons. None found.
"No country in the world has started more wars in history than US. "

The reason, Redmike, is that after 50+ years of defending AOld Europe's freedom to drift into a socialist orbit with the EU and to teach their students to hate and vilify the United States while at the same time committing cultural suicide, we've decided that Old Europe is no longer worth saving.
Just get your weapons of mass destruction off the continent of Europe, they aren't wanted here.
