...well, the first one was nasty Serbia. They killed our heir to the throne, what were we supposed to do. What'd you have done if someone had killed Don jr. Also, I blame the US for world war 2, on the grounds that you got involved to thread the needle in world war 1. Should have just let us win that one.
It's always interesting the way we remember the start of wars. Take the American Revolution where we are taught we fought against tyranny and heavy taxation that was unfair to the colonies. What they don't tend to teach, here, is that we were being taxed to pay for a war the colonists started that England didn't want (French and Indian War). It was England making the American colonies accountable for their actions, and they threw a tantrum.
