Well I have no patience for people like you. So stop poking me at every post. Give me little space to breathe.

Incursion

This is a list of US army interventions since second world war. There has not been a year without USA not being in a state of war. And there is this one reason that USA is holding a part of our country's territory occupied. In 1999 bombed civilians and so on. The list is down bellow. It is not made up or something it is a part of official history.

Reasons enough. And there is nothing that you could say that'll dissuade me from thinking everything bad about USA. I have nothing against it's people. Just its government.

Hey I loved Alistair. Though not in the way you do Starr, but I liked him.
