[QUOTE="Agrippa, post: 10755668, member: 23310"] WWII very much impacted Great Britain and Scandinavia. In the UK, study of WWII makes up the bulk of the historical curriculum. Finland had the impact of the Winter War/Continuation War. Norway was occupied and Sweden found the Third Reich and the Soviet Union on its borders. It was a conflict that destroyed a continent; something like that doesn't go away in fifty years. EDIT: Missed this paragraph here. Serbia, on the other hand, had clear international support through NATO, which the Iraq war did not have. Anyway, there are some indications that the US was overzealous in some of its intelligence conclusions with Kosovo as well (some things with the mass graves, it appears as though Milosovec might get off on the war crimes trial). I saw a good site with polls about the war that supported my conclusions once, but I can't seem to track it down now. I was able to find a few other things related to it. From: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popular_opposition_to_war_on_Iraq[/url] From: [url]http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:y3mBJCObArYJ:www.pipa.org/OnlineReports/Iraq/Media_10_02_03_Report.pdf+polls+why+did+americans+support+the+war+in+iraq&hl=en[/url] Be careful with that site. It kept on crashing my browser. I'm not saying the rest of the world knew the intelligence was wrong. The rest of the world wanted the inspectors to stay on and for the US to wait for UN approval. Later, the absense of WMD's proved the rest of the world correct. I'm not sure about the incident you're referring to so I can't really comment. The only thing I can say is that's not historical revisionism, it's a decision of who/what to prosecute and who/what not to prosecute. Anyway, I think we're getting way off topic here. [/QUOTE]
