Mea culpa. I hadn't realised that this list was simply an outlet for unreasoned, irrational moronic hot air. Let me try to answer in kind.
***IDIOT AMERICAN MODE ON***

So while the Nazis invaded numerous small innocent countries and performed genocide on the Jews, it took you four years to work out who the bad guys were? And the Japanese had to blow the shit out of Pearl Harbour before you realised something other than scratching your arse might be appropriate? Just how stupid are Americans? Some superpower, eh?
As I said before, the USA doesn't have a "history" in the same sense that real countries and real cultures do. Here's a quick summary of the USA's history for you. The vast bulk of your initial population was comprised of unwanted idiot mongrels from various proper nations and cultures. It hasn't improved with time. You started off by anihilating the indigenous population of your own land, and have progressed from there all the way to electing George W Bush as your First Citizen. In between, you managed to burn the whole of Vietnam to the ground and still lose the war! Some superpower, eh? Your only positive contribution to the planet as a whole so far is Bilko.
***IDIOT AMERICAN MODE OFF*** Now, if you'd like to discuss the subject properly, let's go off list. While you do appear to have a brain in your head, I can't bear morons of this level...
"Does Afghanistan really *exist*? I mean, as an actual thing, rather than as a blank space on the map? We were able to actually conquer the place, on account of we're Americans and we pass stones bigger than a European's balls. But we still can't turn it into a country, and we're not really trying. Once we've got Iraq settled, we'll quietly move our folks out of Afghanistan and let it slump back down to its primordial anarchy." - Andrew Solovay
Before we do connect off list though, it might be worthwhile asking yourself the question, "Why does the rest of the world hate us?" rather than trying to argue that it has no right to hate you. This sort of question is a tactic employed by intelligent people in proper countries with proper cultures. By the way, you have my permission to pass this little tip on to Dubya. If he would bother asking, "What would make people hate us so much that they would hijack an aeroplane and fly it into one of our buildings?" rather than screaming, "Round up a posse and let's give the bastards a necktie party!" he would achieve an awful lot more for "homeland security" than he is presently managing.
I'm also tempted to recommend reading Michael Moore's book, "Dude Where's My Country?" but since over 99% of Americans have not read a non-fiction novel since leaving full-time education (sic), I guess that one's doomed to failure.
Y'all have a nice day, now!
Philip
