I am really not interested in starting the opening shot in another liberal round of American self loathing and self flagellation here. But its so hard to ignore such BS. Are you talking about England, France, Russia or any prior "friends" that we started wars with? Can we get a cup of tea please and recall our American history?
OK, if you want to be flippant I suppose we can have fun here. We were estranged bed partners with mother England when we decided to boot them off the N. American continent during the revolution. But who fired the first shot? Philosophically, who starts a war? The person play-shooting with their bird finger or the person pulling the trigger to shoot a biligerent turkey with real bullets?
Seems to me it ended up pretty well as the US made amends by coming back to save 'ol England from the nasty Germans. The US ended up making friends with both victor and enemy alike with the Marshall plan. We then made trillions of dollars off everyone with a new American empire. It's just a bummer that they are now at the moment teaming up to hammer our currency. But I would not really call that being enemies - just ungrateful debtors. Eventually they will figure out that is self defeating behavior or the process will repeat itself and start all over again.
Given that we have only been a country for a few centuries its pretty laughable that we have centuries old enemies and you stated. Perhaps the American Indians?
If so, you are off the reservation Chief. So get back and keep those tax free bingo games and gambling operations back to producing revenue for beef jerky or else enjoy your cup of south American coffee and be thankful its not the King's tea. Sigh...
