with no offense intended i would have to disagree with you and say nicholas II of russia because his intentional purpose was of no actual loss or gain tactical wise.

so mustang, may i ask for your reason why you think that. i know many people would agree but you may have a different aspect/reason

I kind of agree with Brotheromar,

I mean there stuck in the the past when wars were about religion. But in todays world you just can't declare war because you say that there religion is diffrent. IMO thats pretty stupid.

Also I kind of think that the U.S., because wasent the problem in Afgahistha. I mean after all why call it "War on Terrism" when you fight for oil. Just call it WAR ON THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE OIL.

lol Spain getting on Iraq was pretty stupid as well. We only got the 11-M and too many deaths for nothing.

As much as I hate to say it, America and this whole Iraq/Iran ordeal. If Bush were any bit intelligent, he should try to pull back our troops before his term as president is over, so he might leave on a good note.

In reply to Switchfoot- yes, we could destroy N.Korea with one nuke, but before our nuke could hit them, they would have released all five of theirs and blown away half of the good old U.S.A.

Historically speaking, France. Just about any war. It's a wonder the country still exists.

The worst mistake:
Napoleon did the worst mistake when he decided to attack Russia. the tsar was offernig to be our ally and we could have ruled the world (I'm french so that's why I say "we&quot.
I totally disagree with decadentdragon. Obviously you don't know anything about France history:

"Just about any war."

Even Independance war??
Without our troops you would probably have lost the war against GB...

I'm french and I'm currently studying history
I konw about French history so you don't really need to teach me... lol

BTW, you say that the French people killed a lot of people. What about the americans? They killed all the native indian tribes that lived in America. They killed thousands of innocent people with the atomic bombs, they killed thousands of civilians in Afghanistan....

Every country makes loads of mistakes. i don't think there's one in particular that made a worst mistakes than the others.
i dissaprove your opinion about Napoleon Bonaparte since he saved France from doom.

In all honesty, the war in Iraq was not so much stupid as it was a grave tactical mistake. There were many reasons for going into Iraq, many of which are not portrayed in our media. There were serious tactical and strategic errors with invading Iraq, but that does not make it the stupidest. I would say that some of the wars that france had with germany over the alsance-loraine were probably the stupidest. All in all, the French have gone to war for the stupidest reasons.
