No I didn't. I told you why the withdrawal was so fast and was so bad. You had no intelligent reply so didn't try to offer one.

The US and the countries in the Empire wanted the Brits out ASAP. They weren't able to to draw lines in the map on their own without killing each other. And that was the Brit fault????

As for US involvement overseas, that's a shambles and nothing to be proud of. Supporting dictatorships that kept the population under an iron fist. Not promoting real democracies and all in the name of profit.

Look at the history of Persia/Iraq, Cuba, Philippines and lot's of places in S. America. So long as the ruler was anti communist he was fine.

I forgot Vietnam. Another fine example of the US supporting a despot.
