"Why is it that every war America fights, they lose"?

[Madame Adequate]

As far as I can tell America has won every war that it has ever fought with the exception of Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq. I'm not a historian, though.

Edit: After reading through this thread I'd like to point out that America didn't 'save' anybody in WWII. We entered that war for personal gain. If you think that any country, America or not, would fight a war to 'do the right thing' you're an incredibly stupid person. (And you're the reason we're in Iraq, too, asshole.)

So basically anybody that thinks Europeans should show us gratitude is an idiot and needs to shut up.

Wrong. Much of the first half of the 20th century was about people trying to do what they thought was right, not what necessarily profited them. And you can't discount the fact that it was the right thing as a factor. And finally, someone's motives are only half the story. If someone saves my life, but only because I know how to cure his cancer, I'm still going to be smurfing grateful for it.
