Also Xpt, Thats like saying Hitler never would have messed with America if we hadn't have declared on him.
But Germany declared war on America...but even if not, what is it that I am saying that is like that?
America was usually justified in there actions, usually. Unfortunately, even though I hate the term, the end justifying the means is a good way to put it in this situation. There's no way we would not have gotten in the ME, it eventually had to happen
Almost never since the Second World War.
