Iranian official blames deadly bombing on 'U.S. actions'

[HoreTore]

yeah sure there are similarities but they are an essentially different war. There are similarities between all wars. If there is any war you could really compare this too it would be Vietnam.

So... With that statement made, why did you go mental over Banqou's(and my) claim that there are similarities between the american independence war and the war in afghanistan?

And yes i could easily blame something of this sort on my nationality. Of course the average person wants to believe the best of his or her country and is probably going to be unwilling to compare their war for independence with the war in afghanistan.

There's no excuse for being blinded by nationalism.

But hey, if you didn't want your independence war compared to other wars, how 'bout.... Not waging war to gain independence, and gain it through diplomacy instead?
