German and Soviet Proaganda And Nationalism; US Propaganda And Patriot Acts!. Russian Troops In Afghanistan; American Troops In Afghanistan; Berlin Wall; Mexican Wall US Funds Terrorists Who Turn On The US; And Continue To Do So Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: For the last eight years, or so, the US has had a president who failed at eveything he's ever tried, including school!. His family trust fund kept writing large checks, so he kept passing his courses and schools!. He never learned anything, though, except about beer, cocaine, and sleazy girls!. Because he never learned anything about History, he has doomed us to repeat it!. It will take generations to repair his damage!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Well I see a few flaws in your points: Berlin Wall, Mexican Wall!. There is a slight difference between the two!. The Berlin wall was ment to seperate one nation into two, which it did for several decades!. The reason for the fence along the Mexican Border is to prevent Paco and his buddies from coming across our border illegally and then milking the US system!. Russia invaded Afghanistan because they wanted to!. THe US invaded Afghanistan to get the people responsible for a little thing called 9/11!. Had 9/11 not happened pretty sure we wouldn't have invaded!. When the USA funds groups, like the Taliban back in the 80's there was no way to know for sure that they would turn their backs to us!. We backed Saddam in the Iran/Iraq War then he invaded Kuwait so that he could get their oil revenue!. Pretty much the USA picks the lesser of two evils at the time, kind of like France did to Britian when we were fighting for our independence!. Based on the Patriot acts please tell me how your life has changed!. Are your movements restricted at all!. Sure crossing the border isn't as easy as it was or boarding a plane takes a whole 15 minutes extra, but hey I would rather them screen everyone then miss the one person who gets the bomb onto the plane I am on!. Just me!. AS for the goverment issue in Iraq I am not well versed on that topic, so I cannot give you a justified answer as I do not know the British portion of Iraq's history!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Hmm, there is a vast difference between the Berlin Wall and the Mexican wall!. Show me a better country!. One that will let you live there!. I wonder why the American People continue to re-elect the same idiots each year to run this country!. Year after Year the same bunch of idiots are elected to congress!. At least we limit the term of the President to 8 years!. We need term limits on congress!. We need to vote out the incumbents NOW!. Send them all packing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Not every mistake in history, just some!. France & England oppress Germany forcing them to pay reparations leading to WWII!. France & England appease Hitler letting him conquer a good portion of Europe before deciding to act!. France surrenders to Germany and waits for others to rescue her All of these are among the biggest mistakes any countries have made in history, so far the U!.S!. has not repeated them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com "Well some of your comparisons are a little tenuous - but I do take your point!. Who decided that America should boss the world!? The world doesn't want it and I suspect that the majority of Americans don't want it either!. " When everything is all sunny, the rest of the world hates us!. But when disaster strikes in one form or another who does the world turn to!? Sometimes I am almost an isolationist!.!.!.we should just fold our tents, turn our back on the snobbery that comes blowing in across the Atlantic, or from our own effette elitists and let!.!.!.I don't know!.!.!.Belgium, let's say!.!.!.respond to the next big tsunami, or have South Africa send its troops when some tinhorn dictator invades its next door neighbor!. Www@QuestionHome@Com All of that may be true, but i dare say we have as good a track record as any other country !. We are all human, therefore we all ( as countries) make horrible mistakes, the problem is the country is ran by old men, and they dont want to give up their power, They can make wars, because they dont have to fight them, they can do things to our country that they dont have to live to see the final outcome!. just my opinion, ;) Www@QuestionHome@Com Well some of your comparisons are a little tenuous - but I do take your point!. Who decided that America should boss the world!? The world doesn't want it and I suspect that the majority of Americans don't want it either!. Www@QuestionHome@Com Those who repeat history are doomed to repeat it!. And you know what they say about repeating history: we're all doomed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com People forget 911 for some reason, they need to see the video to refresh their little minds, guess we were supposed to just forget all about itWww@QuestionHome@Com Afraid so and with the economy in meltdown it's downhill all the way nowWww@QuestionHome@Com We dont seem to pay attention to History do we!.
