That is a horrible Patton look-a-like. But if Patton was still around, the world might be a very different place today, since he wanted to invade Russia right away after WW2, and we might all be dead now if it wasn't accomplished before they built their atomic bomb. On Afghanistan, it is a mess over their, but the military is much smarter now and from what I have heard it is more on respecting the civilians and doing the best to gain their trust instead of the somewhat ruthless "pridelicious" military that was in Vietnam; and wasn't Cuba a training of Cubans to start a revolution? Bay of Pigs or something like that? My Latin American history isn't that good.
I hope the US continues in the direction of global human rights, and that is not human rights like if other foreign countries want to commit atrocities let them, it is the human rights of the global citizen, not dictators and autocratic, or religious leaders. And Osama B.L. sadly was an extremist religious leader.

I don't know if you made this poster but whoever did didn't include Iraq, I would think a few years ago they would have; I think this has to do with the smarts of our military leaders and like I said before not just being like the old military leaders of the past looking to end a war and go home, but looking at the long term goals and looking to stabilize peace indefinately, and create a favorable impression to promote democracy and human rights of the civilians to show that democracy can lead to diplomacy and peace instead of war and fighting for power.

Bay of Pigs was a CIA operation in which the CIA trained Cuban refugees in military tactics. The operation's goal was to insight rebellion amongst the local populace, however, the local inhabitants did not insight rebellion and Fidel's army mopped up the refugee invasion force.

Phew. I think I'm good for the AP World History Exam :D

Only problem is, they don't want democracy. That region has been damn near feudal for the longest time, and as much as I am for democracy, you simply can't plant it in a country that doesn't want to adopt it.

If the children aren't given the chance to choose then yeah they have no choice, but if we kick out the taliban and alqaeda who Force people to act that way and people start seeing it is safe to do whatever they choose, which can be to practice their religion or whatever. Are you thinking about the men in the country or the women, and the children too? The powerful men definately don't want the US their, but I wouldn't go so far as to say the majority don't, unless if they are getting fed with propoganda by terrorists or the powerful men; not saying all the powerful men over there are bad though.
Looking at Libya, Egypt, Syria, Tunisia; I would say that people do want democracy in that region, some people are just in worse regions where they are scared to say it, and they should be. I'm not 100% sure but I'm pretty sure Libyans, Egyptians, Syrians, and Tunisians have had way more freedom and opportunities than Afghanistans (like college, and internet access), maybe why they were able to start rebelling on their own for human rights and no more oppression.

England


You can't actually use Euro's anywhere in the United Kingdom as they are not legal tender.
But our current exchange rate is:

1 British pound = 1.6683 U.S. dollars
1 British pound = 1.12366135 Euros

But as you were saying Scooby, Pounds always spank the US Dollar.
