I would like to take into account some of the things you have told me, but your to angry for no reason. This 'soup of ignorance' I am 'simmering
in' is because I made one comment?
Seriously go and find yourself someone else to argue with, and I will make up my own mind without the put downs thanks.
lol...I'm not angry! I'm mirthful beyond description reading and re-reading your posts! I'm not the one who chose to put my uneducated ideas on
display for the world (or at least the ATS world) to see by stating such ignorant (not used as a pejorative, mods) and ill-informed thoughts!
"'...bad guys' hatch Die Hard type attacks under the nose of what is supposed to be the most powerful country in the world." and "...it is usual
procedure to scramble a jet to investigate." are just two of the more silly comments I have seen on this board, yet you stand by them even in light
of the facts of the actual events being shown to you in stark words.
I see you are in the UK. Perhaps you should read up on some of your own British history related to how a smaller, significantly less capable enemy
can bring a superpower to its knees. Start with the American revolution and move on to the Boer Wars and India-Brit relations in the early to mid
20th century. Perhaps then you'll realize the absolute inanity of "supposed to be the most powerful country in the world" comment.
Go ahead and make up your own mind then, the facts be damned! Enjoy and I look forward to your next post!
