Little Hawk, your post of 09 Feb 07 - 07:13 PM has got to be the greatest example of historically incorrect, emotion-based twaddle I have ever heard you come out with. Complete and utter crap.

It is however noted that your anti-empire rants never include those Empires of the Left. While it may be true that the meddling of the US and western democracies cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands since the end of the Second World War, the meddling undertaken by the USSR, China and the puppet regimes they set up in their satellite States caused the deaths of millions. But you will never hear Little Hawk come out against that in the same way that he goes after the US and, how did he put it again, "the bloody British Empire".

The general concensus of historians the world over is that the influences on the general world situation on balance have been enhanced by the efforts, activities and developement introduced by the UK and the USA.
