Actions are based on reasoning. An action isn't cynical, it is the reasoning behind an action that is cynical. But that is simply semantics...... i'm yet to be told how my opinions are not objective. Apart from by people that are taking a very subjective view to the whole issue.


That is clearer, thankyou.

Ok if it's okay with you let me throw that back at you.

Cheers

The two are inseperable, either the action and reason are cynical or they arent.

Because if you see the US giving aid to others as a negative simply because it benefits them at the same time.

Slightly off topic but did you know that George Bush did not win the Presidency on votes. He was awarded it by the Supreme Court as ballots in Florida were undecisive. Bet they're regretting that decision.

Read it last night, did know if it was common knowledge.

Oh yes, its extremely common knowledge to anyone who reads current affairs or watches the news.

So, the Germans nearly ruled the world then....was that the same sort of plan as America...and who stopped them from succeeding?
In regard to the D Day landings, the Nazis had invaded most of Europe, at the time the allied forces were liberating it. A subtle difference there.
And theres a world of difference between funding one side in civil wars to actually doing the invading. Please don't forget that throughout the cold war while the US was guilty of this, so to were the Soviets.

Re the Germans nearly ruling the world, scarily it was achievable. We were stretched to breaking point and even the US intervention was not effectively achieving a breakthrough. The turning point for us and against Hitler was his mistake in attacking the USSR and pushing them into the alliance with the UK and USA.

Cant remember author but hes written some good books on this kind of thing. I know one of his books is called the Weather Factor. Its quite simply about how the weather has changed the course of battles and events surprisingly overturning the overwhelming odds one side had against the other.

Yep, his good old mate Jeb helped him with that one somewhat down in Florida.

Funnily enough, Jeb is also one of the guys publically promoting the US's position in the world order. And I thought they used to keep these things quiet:
