When did Europeans do anything right???

In Iraq, Europeans only stood idle and watched and supplied the
equipment Saddam massacred millions of innocent human beings until the
USA stepped in again. Now the Europeans are still doing nothing but
bitching about USA.

Don't talk crap. The US was standing idle watching Iraq as well you
halfwit. Or if you don't get back under your bridge I'll bring up some
of the US' less golden moments in recent history.

Oh don't let alleged trolls under the bridge stop you!

Brining up "US' less golden moments in recent history" has been de rigeur
in discussing American foreign policy for some time now.

I presume that is because they seem so much better documented than the
"less golden moments" of others.

Hardly, I doubt there's a country in the world who's happy for their
closets to be examined for skeletons (although Iceland doesn't seem to
have done anything too bad........yet), and they're all documented,
even if not in the US, which does have the biggest media voice.

Hell, I'm proud to be a Brit (ok, ok, half-Brit), and we did some damn
nasty things in our past.
