Sorry Rizzo, when I wrote the comment I did not realize the mentally challenged such as yourself would be resurrecting an old ID after your former one was banned.

My comment is that I had forgotten the Independent had printed the story, and thanked the OP for reminding me. I did not say that I accepted it as a correct story. I was persuaded at the time and by QLers' posts on this thread that it is not entirely accurate.

So if you accept the article, what was the war all about then? If imperialism, what sort do you mean? Is it imperialism if the US withdraws?
