In addition to not being relevant to the preceeding discussion they occured long enough ago to form part of the US's history as well. History is a wonderful thing, and there are many, many lessons to be learned from it. One of the most important is to not cherry pick what parts are looked at, but to look at the whole and in the context of the time. >> >> two world wars that we got dragged into >> > >> >You have this continual memory problem about WW2. >> > >> >Have you forgotten that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor ? >> >> --- >> It wasn't the war in the Pacific I was talking about. > > Are going to try to suggest you could have gone to war with Japan and not > Germany ? This will rapidly bog down into a re-run of the previous version of this very argument a few weeks ago. It is easy for people to sit at home today and predict that US could have crushed Japan without the UK's bases and the Commonwealth support just as it is easy for people to sit at home and say it would not have been possible. The US was not dragged into WW2 by Europe.

If it cost $10 a day to keep them off drugs, it is cheaper than putting them in jail. The brits want to help them. This may be the more practical answer even though I don't see how they can keep an addict away from drugs. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge |
