| Not sure about other countries, but I find it odd how allegiances with the U.S. tend to become Polar Opposites over time:
England: Bitter enemies in American Revolution and the War of 1812 but our closest ally since Canada: Enemy in the War of 1812, ally since Japan: Ally in WWI, Enemy in WWII, Ally since Cuba: Ally in Spanish-American War, WWII, and Cuban Revolution. Enemy (negative relations) since Philippines: Enemy in Philippine-American War, ally since Iraq: Ally in Iran-Iraq War, enemy in Gulf War and Iraq war Afghanistan: Ally in Soviet-Afghan War, Enemy in The War in Afghanistan Russia: Ally in WWII, enemy for the Cold War, better relations now (but still shaky) | |

| Interesting and informative. I knew some of this but not all. I wonder how much more I do not know.... I love learning, ask Lil' turtle, she'll vouch for that! She may be in Texas now, but, soon she and her daughter will be coming on vacation. I can't wait! Oooooops! I went off topic, sorry. | |

| Great post Knight Templar! We need more topics of this nature, factual, informative and educational.
Off Topic: TSS needs more political discussion too. | |
