Sorry if it seems i'm verbally attacking someone's country and/or beliefs, i'm just a bit frustrated lately with the state of things in general. As for the US in particular, i don't doubt one bit their contributions in various fields during the course of human history, but i still have to look out for the less than ideal events and discuss them with people so that something might be done.
The US is a very powerful country, but compared to some of the weaker ones out there it's still an infant historically. That is not meant as an insult, it just is that way, but metaphorically speaking to many of the Europeans it's like a toddler wielding a minigun. That's why you get all that flak, you make mistakes and hopefully learn as you go, but we all live on a single planet and the cost is usually shared between multiple parties against their own volition.
That being said, it's very funny that having studied the English language for 9 years i tend to write in a manner so complicated that i miss the point, while a simpler post like Avala's is all you need to get the message across
Most importantly, it's quite amazing that while this thread has been a bit heated (and i'm guilty of that as well), it hasn't degenerated to petty namecalling and primary school era insults.
I frequent other forums about games too and on most of them political discussion is strictly prohibited, because people can't contain themselves. Presenting a different viewpoint somehow equals a personal insult for some people. So, i am very glad to see that through our fascination with war history, studying why and how things went wrong in the past, we have all learned to disagree and still have a discussion for discussion's sake and not for the purpose of convincing each other at any cost
