This is all about the CIA/MI6 "destabilization program,? read: Color Revolution (to smash another sovereign state into pieces) not going as planned. Now the only remedy is an illegal (and precedent setting) military intervention.

I always like it when retards on a porn forum throw out baseless conspiracy theories.

History is not going to look back fondly on the 1940s - World War II. This was a bad time for the entire world, very violent, with twenty million people dead; The value of a life wasn't much. In the case of the United States, we were attacked, and we fought back. We have this image that we are horrible for dropping the A Bomb, but the truth is carpet bombing in some cases did more damage.
History is not going to look back too fondly on our generation either. Not because of our action, but because of our inaction. We pay an unproportionate amount of attention to the Middle East; The Middle East can become a glass parking lot over night and the US will still get it's oil form the same place it does now - Canada and Mexico. Yet at the same time we pay no attention to Africa. The entire continent is dieing, decades of civil war, AIDS, starvation, and a huge lack of government control, and our entire generation didn't give a fucking shit about it.

I'm not sure I agree. Aside from some diehard liberals and philosophy majors, current history looks favorably on the US during WWII.
