Urrmm.

It appears as if the pro-American people here are missing out quite a lot of American history here . . .

Let's take our minds back to Iraq War v.1.0.

The coalition won. Uprisings by Bush Snr are called for. Uprisings happen. Americans then go to the war settlement negotiations agreeing not to intervene in Iraqi internal affairs. Iraq slaughters thousands of it's own people. Americans keep to their commitment not to intervene.

Kurds do a runner in the North. Europe wants to go in to avert a massive (in the scale of millions of innocent people) disaster. Bush Snr says no 'this is not another going to be another Vietnam - we will not get involved in their internal policies'
John Major (and Edwina Curry?) tell America that Britain will go it alone.

The BBC arrive. The BBC sell footage of the crisis to CNN/Fox etc. The American people see what their country has helped create (but still don't know that the current Administration has known about this for nearly two months)

American people start seeing the humanitarian mess on BBC/CNN/Fox.

Bush changes his mind.

I wonder what motivation the American administration really have?

As for WWII I think you'll find that the Americans sold us the help - Britain had to pay for it (which they did) So I wouldn't regard
that as 'kindness of their heart' either

Do you realise the Americans have never fought a war and won without another nations help?
