1. Oh so now people are "Wrong" for not hating America?  get over yourself buddy.

2a. America DOES have to be carefull with its foreign policy.  I hope it is abundently clear that this has been realized considering we aren't invading Iraq again.

2b. Again, how are we not learning from the past?  The current coalition against ISIS shows that we understand that these wars to be won by local boots on the ground.

2c.  Just got back from Carlisle, lovely country.  However let's not throw stones in a house of glass ok?  The U.K. is the U.S.'s greatest military ally who was one of the only countries in the EU to aid our invasion, and attributed the most non-US soldiers.  I mean we are talking about Imperial England here.  Don't be surprised if English bombers are flying over Syria by the end of the year.

3.  Yes the world is not a perfect place.  However sometimes there are only "Bad" choices to some decisions.  Just out of curiosity what would you do about ISIS?  Keep in mind that millions of innocent are at stake and there are many of your countries (Pretending you are the U.S.) facilities and property at risk.

1. I don't get your problem but that poll is based on fuck all. Being cool has a very changeable meaning 

2a. I get that but its very easy to get stuck into Iraq again. I mean Vietnam started with sending just a few hundred troops and a couple ships and then something kicks off and before you know a full blown war starts. Maybe not the same but it seems similar

2b. You said 'let the past be the past' implying lets forget everything we ever did. At least thats how i interpreted it. 

2c. Depends on the parliament vote i guess if there is one. But you're probably right 

Also i assume you mean ww2. The UK was the only country that could really help America. France was occupied. Russia was too far away and the rest were fascists (Germany and East Europe) or simply weren't involved (Spain and Portugal) 

3. I'm normally against intervention but with the likes of ISIS i'd firstly send military equipment to the Kurdish Peshmerga and the Syrian Army, probably the Iraqi army too but they don't seem to really exist no more. I'd likely use bombing to try to contain ISIS forces but communication is key. Sending an American army in would be last resort and thats if the Kurds and Syrians are badly losing. Has to be diplomacy and aid first. Not sure if we could of stopped those supposed beheadings though

So I am kinda confused now.  Most of what you said you would do is what America is doing.

 In terms of Imperial England, no I mean England since the 1600's.  I mean who do you think lazily drew half of the borders in the middle east, and thus fucked that region (France and other European powers helped of course.)

 

One last thing:  What you see on TV is not america.  Fox News is war hungry and stupid, but then again it is Fox News.  You don't judge America based on Fox News, and I won't judge the U.K. based on The Sun ok?
