ah, hit a nerve eh.

You don't see the similarities? You have just finished beating Iraq (a country with one tenth your population) and now you are looking for another country (not too tough though) to take on.

WTF?

Germany in 1939 conquered first Austria, then Czekoslovakia, then Poland claiming that it was their right. No country since WW2 has conquered another, let alone 2 countries that I can think of.

The united states would seem to have the taste of blood in its mouth and it likes it. The posters here debating the merits of wheter to attack Iran, or Syria, or North Korea would seem to confirm that.

National pride is one thing. Nationalism is another and it is a slippery slope.

What gives you the right to attack whatever country you do not like?

You have become a nation of conquerers it would seem.
