Speaking of Israel...

Had any real effort along those lines been made in the 1760s, the Revolution would have been stop-punched and the history of the world quite different.

Yup. Bummer 'aint it?

Reformed? We began this by talking about how Britain ruined the Middle East after WW1...

You're the one who said the colonial governing had much improved after atrocity, we had made such improvements before germany was even starting.

The idea that everybody should hand over their colonies to Britain and bow in submission because Britain "invented" or "mastered" the submission of large parts of the planet is pretty ludicrous. The idea to focus on our own matters and not get colonies at all was a much better one.

When did I say you should have handed them over? I said you, Italy and the Belgians shouldn't have tried in the first place and left the area to be colonized by the professionals.

It's just more British exceptionalism, or at least it sounds like it is.

You do realize that I was joking when I said "we screwed you guys over to protect the world from mainland tyranny"?

With that argument you could also sell guns to children...

Ok... I dont see how you could have gotten that from what I typed, but ok... Look capitalism is like a dog: fun, useful, loyal when you feed it and a menace when left undisciplined. However, it isn't the pet store's fault fido died when you let him chase cars.
