The truth you say, well I am interested in the truth so please visit the attached sites.

You said that the British Empire tried to subjugate everyone then why was Freetown in Sierra Leone so called. Follow this link please.

You are trying to say that because the British Empire did some things, which were not very nice, then on that note I cannot disagree with you. Yes to quell a mutiny in India the British tied Indians to gun barrels and blew them apart, every empire has done wrong things, but I would like to think that we have progressed from there. You and other americans when a Brit points out why he thinks your wrong you reply with ‘the British Empire did this or that’. The Roman Empire crucified the Son of Man, do you hold it against the Italians.

Please follow my next link about how an american put the profit of his fur company and wiped out 1000’s of Native Americans.

This is the view of corporate america which a lot of people outside the us have. So as you tar the British with the brush of the old Imperial Britain can we tar you with this same brush. Personally I do not wish to as there are some Americans with sense but as for attacking Iraq because it is a nuclear power (or wishes to be so), and you have the reason of it’s human rights abuses as an excuse, then why not look at China. It is a nuclear power (communist) and it quells riots by driving tanks over protesting students. It allows infanticide as tourists in smaller areas have walked by dead babies in the street gutters why not attack China until they behave themselves. Or do you think this is not the truth and I am a lying Imperialistic Brit.

The words I say are because I want a world free of terror, I have lived with seeing america support terrorism around the world, seeing the american Irish lobby support the Irish republican terrorists and in turn the american government sticking it’s big nose into Politics it only supports from one side.

When it came to Argentina invading a British colony The Falkland Islands, the americans sided not with ‘ their closest NATO ally but with the corrupt military dictatorship Argentina. Then when the British prevailed who did they find fighting for Argentina but american mercenaries.

Yes I like my country very much as well and I am very patriotic, but I also see the bad in it and write letters to my MP (Member of Parliament, Governor or Senator to you.) when I see something wrong.

As for the bit I say about america supplying Iraq and other terrorist supporting states you don’t believe me, or is it that you do believe me and just want me to prove it to you? I thought you were and educated man, but if you believe the united states has given no chemicals or biological agents to Iraq then you are either blind
