No I would have preferred the USA entering the war right after France was beaten. Will I do think the UK would still be hear because the UK stopped the Germans without the USA.

Perhaps you would have preferred the US stayed out of WWII until the Germans invaded the US?  Do you think there would be a UK today, if that had happened?  The US has supported the British in many ways.  A main reason for the US attempting to control the mid east is to secure oil for Britain.  Yes, the US has stepped in where the British have pulled out, but it did not force the British out, and Britain has benefited from the change of power, because the US perceives it their best interest to take good care of a trading partner.

Okay, now I see why you say you hate the US.  What gives Britain the right to the Falkland islands?  How is Britain's imperialism justified?  I have edited out my opinion, because I went on to research the British claim and it is a good one.   My first reaction was to oppose British imperialism, thinking the island had native inhabitants and it did not.

Here is the possible justification of British claim to the Falkland, and it is a good one.  Most the people are British and the Argentinians are late comers.   The UN gave the citizens the opportunity to vote Britain out and the people did not.   This matter needs to be handled by the UN, because it is not a good thing for the US to worsen its relationships with South America. 

The whole disagreement pushes us to consider what is good government, what are the rights of the people?  What is best for the world?
