the US was trying the same isolationist policy in 1939, but changed it's mind
Changed it's mind? How strange... I thought that an air attack on Pearl Harbour did that. How times change eh? In 1917 (a bare 3 years after the start of WW 1), it only took the sinking of ONE ship to change American minds about that war. In 1941, it took the sinking of almost the whole US Pacific Fleet to achieve the said change of mind.

Uncle Sam is getting an awful lot of trade business for its money and efforts. And I promise to forget that the whole premise for the invasion of Iraq was the supposed existence of WMD. They still seem to be somewhat elsuive, don't they?

The very fact that the spin doctors have come up with all that bs about liberating the people of Iraq is proof, to me, that even dear old Uncle Sam wants everyone to forget about WMD. How can we ever forget, or forgive, such a massive lie?

As for me being French...
