Highflyer,
Were you actually educated in the UK? Regardless, I find your knowledge of history pretty repugnant. The words - ignorant and revisionist - come to mind. Maybe it was one of those madrassas in the UK that you attended. Perhaps your intellect simply isn't able to keep pace with your convictions. Either way, the freedom to express your opinions as you have comes from the very same nation that you now disparage. Do you think you would be having these same conversations if they were in post WW2 German or Japanese? How about post Cold War Russian?
Someone here needs to tuck his chin in...
