I didn't argue whether or not the war had broke out, I argued that they supplied the engines to Nazi germany, and they did even after they annexed Austria. Chamberlain knew quite well who they were dealing with and didn't care. It wasn't until Prime Minister's changed and England ended their nationalist policies that what you're talking about took place. Please don't attempt to revise history by quibbling over small points.

By the way, I'm not saying that America was any better, my point was that all of this is in the past, and it doesn't affect out current situation in the least. Long story short: Everyone you're angry with is DEAD and their kids are RETIRED or DEAD. Get over it and lets concentrate on reality. Searching back nearly 80 years ago for arguments only appeals to our emotional senses of vengeance and generational justice.

Not only am I a financial advisor, so I know I am correct.

LOL!! Really? Because to me it looks like financial advisors shat the bed quite recently. Argue facts, not your profession. Financial expertise is immaterial when the argument is there would be no wealth to redistrubute if we didn't have a strong military to support and protect it, and not only protect it nationally but internationally. Read The Case for Goliath to see how important that military spending is to the world, not just the US.

Why should these people fight it out and solve it themselves, when we messed it up. A tyrant though he was,at least saddam kept these people in check. Iraq was and is not a third world country. It was all about oil and Bush's personal vendetta ...'let's not forget, this is the guy that tried to kill my dad'... that says it all.[/quote]

Does your financial expertise tell you all this as well? These are all old arguments that we've argued about relentlessly over the last 6 or more years, so I'll pass on beating a dead horse. You believe what you believe, and I believe what I believe. If there is nothing new to add except for stale platitudes like "he killed mah daddah!!", "blood for oil", etc. I think we can put this exchange to rest.
