  • @libertyqueen We were talking about Britain, which did not exist until 1603.

  • @MrRobertJameson And add to the lengthy list of defeats of the english by people and governments everywhere, let us not forget that little 19-year-old Saint Joan of Arc kicked the english asses in 1429! Get over it!

  • @MarchToFreedom It had nothing to do with anti-imperialism. We were not prepared to let one country become too powerful.

    World War I began because the Germans wanted a large surface navy, and the Russians and French were not going to allow that.

  • @MrRobertJameson Yes, we were on a moral crusade against imperialism....oh wait...

  • @MarchToFreedom The reason was to prevent Russian expansionism. That was also why the Crimean War happened.

  • @MrRobertJameson Ah so we were protecting them and suddenly they decided to turn on the British army?

    you don't think there may have been a bit more to it than that?

    Have no illusions, boy, the only reason that Britain has ever been involved in Afghanistan is for control over the key trade hub between East and West...

    I think you need to grow up, stop getting your news from the BNP website or silly tory speeches and start doing some independent thinking.

  • @MarchToFreedom We were protecting the people of Afghanistan from the Russian Empire, just as we helped the people of Tibet in 1903-4.

  • @MrRobertJameson We should have destroyed Afghanistan because they defended their country?

    it's a shame Britain is represented by people like you....you really ruin it for the rest of us.

  • @MarchToFreedom We should have destroyed all of Afghanistan after the murder of Elphinstone's army.

  • @MrRobertJameson You take pride in the fact that British soldiers pillaged the Afghan countryside?

    You're sick in the head, you are...

    It's people like you that are the reason our country is hated by so many..

    By looking at your page I can see you're a silly tory boy as well...that explains a lot.

    27 years of age? I think not, you sound much more like a silly 15 year old who wants the approval of conservative mummy and daddy..

    God save England, to hell with the queen!
