Well if history is a barometer, last time we let the French deal with something the US had to step in and play policeman so it could claim it wasn't getting into a land war in Asia.

Like there wasn't a lot of reasons to hate America already either.
We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it
Seriously though, we need an updated version with all of the 'Murican blunders.

I just personally find it amusing when say, the British, Germans, Spanish, or Russians (edit: or really any European power of the thirteenth-through-twentieth centuries) start up with their digs at the U.S...as if there weren't plenty of skeletons in their mass graves across six continents closets.

Germany merely did what most of Europe wanted to do for a few centuries. Then they got carried away and tried to liquidate all of Eastern Europe.

In fairness, Africans have a pretty *** horrible history of treating each other in unspeakable ways too. They just started it on a micro tribal level, whereas Europeans took it macro before the Africans could.
But just look at Rwanda; it's not like ***wasn't going to get messy eventually anyhow.

Just a dig at Europe, the continent that asploded twice with over 100 million deaths and who knows how many casualties.
Damn you Archduke Franz Kam'lanaut.

Like I said. They just got around to it first and through oppression took away Africa's right to do it to themselves!
...human beings suck. I should really learn this lesson better and apply it on a day-to-day basis.

Everyone pokes fun at the French when the Spanish are the real fall from grace.
Your Maginot Line fails once, you get zerged by the Germans and everyone gives you ***for it! Never forget the Napoleonic Wars! The overseas empire! Unless your Adolf Hitler and attempt to take Russia in winter.

History is only written by the victor.
A great line in a movie, in real life it doesn't always apply these days. Especially now that we have so many people looking back on history with a bit more of a modern perspective. We know how to go back and examine things from multiple angles.
In fact, looking at history from the perspective of the vanquished is almost what I'd call the new big thing in history.
For instance, we know that Christopher Columbus was a terrible human being and shouldn't even be honored with a memorial, let alone his own federal holiday and an entire order of modern Christian knights. (Which is not condemning that organization; just their namesake. The KoC do some very good charity work and while not entirely without criticism, it's not really the point I'm trying to make here.)

Oh man, this ***is just too good to let it pass. Can she get any more insane (or rather, probably more accurately, could she pander any harder to the insane?)
Michele Bachmann: The Rapture Is Coming And It's Obama's Fault
Quote: Michele Bachmann says the rapture is coming, thanks to President Barack Obama’s policies on Iran’s nuclear program and marriage equality.
In a radio interview last week, Bachmann, the former Minnesota Republican congresswoman, told "End Times" host Jan Markell, “We need to realize how close this clock is getting to the midnight hour.”
“We in our lifetimes potentially could see Jesus Christ returning to earth and the rapture of the church,” Bachmann said. “We see the destruction, but this was a destruction that was foretold.”

Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.

Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
