That was one pyrrhic victory although I suppose it established them as a nation state with the same rights as other countries.

Is that the war where the Redcoats burnt the White House down twice , once when they arrived and then just before they left.

The Americans made the mistake of shooting the British General's horse when he approached the city under a flag of truce to negotiate terms of surrender so obviously he had no choice - the city had to burn.

hi guys

to chip in, during my life, Bush Sr. for starting the war for his oil buddies.

I liked Clinton, he seemed nice, shame he cheated, but should that mean he was a bad politician? i dunno, I suppose not. let God judge him for cheating, didn't his wife forgive him? shouldn't we?

dunno much about American prezes, although i am a bit ticked off with the amount of US cartoon brainwashing i underwent as a kid, you'd need to be a secret service to do the same job to an adult lol

I didn't realize it until i was watching youtube in a heavy nostalgia session, and i was watch an 80's cartoon, called Galaxy Rangers, and everyone of them was Texan, so out of the whole galaxy, the four best defenders of THE GALAXY where Texan... okay :S, have any of them gone threw Glasgow on a Saturday night when the pubs are coming out around 2am.. didn't think so. LOL

if your Texan reading this, am no huvn a go at your state pride, it was the writers that chose your state, just huvn a go at the portrayal of America to me aged 10.

I'm Scottish, i should be hearing about the baird, scottish history (which the english took off the syllabus when i was at school)... maybe all that is harsh, 'cos the truth is we had no money to make our own stuff, no one encouraged our talent, 3 channels you'd get channel 4 if you were lucky, but no one cared, maybe Bill Forsyth .. but in the early eighties it was American shows or English shows. ...Rikki Fulton at Christmas GRHS five years before it was Stanley Baxtor, ah well

God Bless

I always liked Star Trek (the original television series) when I was a kid. Much more diversity in the cast. There was the ship's captain (an Iowa farm-boy) played by William Shatner (a Jew); there was the Vulcan science officer played by Leonard Nimoy (a Jew); the impetuous young Russian ensign played by Walter Koenig (a Jew)...wait a minute, did I say, "diversity"?
