[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ancestors once owned most of Europe and then got pushed to the edge of the North Atlantic and dominated by England for 1500 years.  I seek to know what they did wrong.  [/quote]

That’s probably irrelevant, but if you are a citizen of a country like the UK, which still has colonies, or the US, which is currently violating treaties with tribal governments, you are—as a current citizen of a democratic government—responsible for what *your* country is doing *now* and to address prior wrongs of the country you are a citizen of. You can’t inherit guilt but you do inherit the responsibilities of your country. [/quote]

I think I have learned that rule number one in human history is don’t lose wars.  [/quote]

OMG your reading comprehension is so poor and your knowledge of US history is apparently non-existent. The US didn't annex most territories by fighting wars. The country signed legal agreements with sovereign nations that believed they were negotiating in good faith. The Senate ratified the treaties and the President signed them. This isn't a "winners vs losers" issue. This is "the United States government is refusing to pay its legal debts and honor its promises" issue. If you are a citizen of the US, this is actually your problem. [/quote]

You are quite foolish if you do not understand that war is fought in many ways.  The winners still win and the losers still lose even if a single shot was never fired. [/quote]
