    I never denied it was an American operation, hell it was called the Manhattan project but I did say that it was not solely an American project and needed assistance from different countries those of which were England, Germany Ireland and Canada however none of these countries wanted any credit and it was up to Truman to say yes and thus the Enola Gay went and destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I would argue that it was an amazing feat but is it something to be proud of? I think not.

    Well you forget what happened after? America told Russia that they need help with defeating the Japanese and the Russians said wait three months and we will assist, well the Americans were near finishing the Manhattan project at that moment and couldn't wait so they went with dropping the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After the Russians were pissed because it was also meant as a message saying if you mess with America we have the power to stop you. Stalin went and send spies in and lone and behold they had their own Nuclear weapon which in turn started a arms race, and throwing out propaganda and thus started the Cold War

    What does cold war mean? No fighting like a "HOT" war. Why did they not use Nuclear weapons? Because they were SCARED

    followed
    by the Berlin airlift, Korean war (Yes America basically created North Korea)Cuban Missile crises and the Vietnam war.

    You can stop arguing about what country is the best. The answer is Sweden. Why? Because it's Sweden.

    Hey, I ain't going to go and face nuclear annihilation because Ireland's neutral. We'll be anyone's little ***** even Putin's :p

    .....Wait is that the Irish flag on the missile hitting England? Never mind, suppose the Neo-IRA got some explaining to do.

    If nukes were to start flying, your neutrality won't protect you from your proximity to the UK; you'll probably be affected by the nukes hitting us. Sorry about that.

    Unless your Australia, where proximity means nothing when you live in a highly isolated death-world almost the size of Europe

    I was guessed as much, it was a joke. Philistine? Well my collection of Oscar Wilde plays, A copy of the Talmud, a pages full of poetry I wrote and endless threads talking about the arts and culture say other wise.



    Anyway they don't compare to the brilliantly tasteful nature of the Irish Dublin Coddle!, Sausages, Rashers, Potatos.

    Wait, Ireland claims they invented chili, too?

    I've only ever heard of it being claimed by Mexico and the United States.
