I don't care if we're supposed to like or dislike any country. I don't like any of em. Not too thrilled with our own fucked up crew, either. If people don't like France, good for them. Like the French care.
Sure I guess if you want to to take it to the level of absurdity.

This isnt ancient history I am talking here. When did Kuwait become independent? The 60s I believe. Before the British let it go, where did the Ottomans rule it from? Iraq. Whom did the British recognize had sovereignty over Kuwait pre WW1? Iraq.

It was a nice try I guess. Now move along.
