Why is it that the British always critisize us about it, even though they sent 45,000 troops in? They still have soldiers there now. It's like Germany after WWI, everyone screwed up, and Germany got ALL the blame.

Good job with your BS history:) WWI was all about alliances. One side fighting another. Russia saw itself as defender of the Slavs, Germany saw itself as defender of the Hungarians. The Russians and France had an alliance. In order to attack Russia, Germany would have to attack France as well and beat them to the punch, so they did. Not that it was right, it made military sense, it was a preemptive strike if you will.

Mostly, the general public complains about things even when they don't have all the facts. That being said I think the Brits complain in much the same way Americans are complaining. Most people don't understand why we are there and don't like that our leaders aren't listening to us.

Another Military Revisionist.
Germany prolonged the First World War further, Austro-Hungara had given in and sued for peace followed by Bulgaria and Turkey, but the German High Command thought they could still swing it and win.
Not one bomb fell in WW1 on German soil, No German civilians suffered through combat related injuries, the same could not be said about the male population of France and Belgium and the UK.
When it came to round 2 (WW2) they still could not pull it off, so ultimately history shows the Germans were ultimately responsible.
When one eats soup with the devil you should use a long spoon to avoid getting burned.Your anti-British rant bears no comment it shows how ignorant you are of military history.

People criticize the Americans because the world believes that its their imperialistic like attitude and the way its government interferes with other peoples problems causes conflicts and wars like in Iraq for example. Iraq didn't have to happen the Arabs have been killing each other in that area for the beginning of time and throwing north American lives in the mix isnt going to help anything at all.

EVERYONE criticizes us. It's why we're the greatest country on the planet even though we mess up sometimes. Time will best tell if we did the right thing by going to Iraq, again.

The British never wanted to be involve in this and Blair followed Bush around like a little school girl.
If the US didn't invade you think Britain would have?

England seems to criticize the U.S. a plenty. They mock America a lot. This has become part of their culture. My theory: They think they speak english better. Just my opinion. One thing cool about England (off the subject) is one can get Havana cigars there.

Yah, but they believe they have the high horse now because they are leaving, course it just proves if you kill enough of them they will tuck tail and run.
