Britain went to war on 'assumption' of wmd

Not to mention that the US could have probably thanked Napoleon for that more than anything.

Since we are discussing history, more interested in why the British invaded us in 1812, wasn't one good asskicking enough for you? Well anyway, you can take us back along with our national debt and give us your free healthcare.

UK= Mother

US=Prodigal Son

Canada= Youngest Child

1. US invaded British North America after the Chesapeake affair.

2. US invades Canada at Sandwich, ON

3. After beating each other up for a while, realize that they're kin and start hugging. Decide instead to screw the Natives.

Goes back to the Germany Analogy.

If you really want to get into the gritty detail, the US didn't really care about either Iran or Iraq that much. It was about oil security, specifically Kuwait's oil. The US couldn't see Kuwait oil tankers bound for the US being lost and so we protected them. In fact we reflagged them as American in the hopes that Iran wouldn't attack a US vessel...but they did and I believe they lost two major vessels along with some worthless gunboats in the process.

They didn't. We declared war on them because of trade restrictions.

I agree the US was indifferent to Iran and Iraq. Reflagging is a joke. The US does more false flag operations than anyone. Taking a ship and putting another country's flag on it, for whatever reason, can be said to go back to days of the privateers or even the trojan horse. That's hardly new. Fly your enemies colors get inside their defensive perimeter or firing distance and let them have it or gather intelligence.
