Vietnam

We didn't invade Vietnam. Wanna try again?

We took over for the French because they wouldn't do what we wanted them to do. Like with Iraq, we used what was a lie to get ourselves involved. We sent troops in and fought a needless war.

What the **** are you even talking about, dude?

History. US kidnapping foriegn citizens:
It is a little-known, dark chapter in U.S. history. During World War II, the Roosevelt administration ordered the detention of more than 2,200 people of Japanese ancestry from 13 Latin American countries, the overwhelming majority from Peru.

Although no official explanation for the internment was ever offered, historians believe the Japanese Latin Americans were abducted for reasons similar to the much larger detention of Japanese Americans on the West Coast of the United States: They were believed to pose a military threat to the United States and its Pacific allies.

. . . . the US government kidnapped thousands of Japanese from Latin America during WWII to be held as ransom by our government.

South African, British and Canadian actually.



What the hell are you talking about?

The debate is not where to place the Liberal Democratic Party, the Conservative party and New Labour on the political scale, this is about your assertion that a majority of Britons elected the Conservative party because they formed a coalition with the Lib Dems.

They did not.

Just as a majority of Germans did not elect Hitler and the Nazi's to dictatorial powers.



Then why can't you produce any documentation?

What am I supposed to document..? The holocaust happened mostly in the attack on Russia, and every German soldier who fought there was directly involved... That easily accounts for 1 in 4 adult Germans being directly involved... I'm not going to dig up the recruitment lists... Guido Knopp already did that...

What other piece of mundane public domain knowledge would you like me to authenticate for you..?
 
If the majority of Germans elected a coalition of parties which supported the nazis then the majority of Germans did vote for nazism... The fact that the coalition parties they voted for then became part of the nazi party makes it even more so...

And yes, voting for conservatives in Britain, even Liberal Conservatives, makes for a Tory Govt... Britain by voting Labour out did directly vote for a Cameron Govt...

Now get back on topic...
