Since the original thirteen state banded together to form the United States of America, three more independent countries have joined the union: the Republics of Texas, California and Hawaii.

Actually a couple of months. They started their revolution in 1845 and pretty much took over most of the state when the Mexican-American War started in 1846 and the people decided to give up being an independent country and to become a state in the US. That was the original idea any way or as they called it "to play the Texas game".

What most ignorant people don't know is that what the public opinion names "Gulf War II" actually was "Gulf War III"

Gulf War I = Iran - Iraq 1988
Gulf War II = Iraq - Quweit - America 1991
Gulf War III = Iraq = USA UK 2003

that's a random fact every american should know, I think

	Got spare money?

When visiting the uk(especialy London), be prepared to learn what the coins are worth as we have loads of coins and use them often.

Dont judge it on the size of the coin(as a big coin can have less value) , but on the opposite side to the queens head read the denomination on the bottom of the coin - it will tell you how many pence it is worth.

We have 100 pence to 1 pound, so its like your dimes/dollars in that respect.

quote: Originally posted by Oerdin The balance of trade is sustainable but Bush's budget deficits are not.

I'm not sure that the trade balance is sustainable either, as it stands if it were to remain at 5% of GDP then the US's net indebtedness would eventually rise from 30% of GDP to 105% and the current-account deficit would hit 10% of GDP (due to interest payments on that debt)

I'm not sure that those levels are consistant with having a globally-dominant economy and currency (although it might be that you were implying that losing those would be an acceptable price to pay for having a sustained deficit of this magnitude)

No, you have it wrong. The Iran-Iraq war was from 1980-1988 the Gulf War was Iraq vs UN in 1991 and the Second Gulf War was Iraq vs Coalition 2003.

Before you call other people ignorant you should get your facts straight.

Officially, both versions exist. From Wikipedia:

Other common names for the conflict include the Gulf War, War in the Gulf, Iraq-Kuwait Conflict, UN-Iraq conflict, Operations Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Desert Sabre, 1990 Gulf War (for the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait), 1991 Gulf War (1990-1991), the Second Gulf War (to distinguish it from the Iran-Iraq war) and Gulf War Sr. and First Gulf War (to distinguish it from the 2003 invasion of Iraq).

I used the years in which the wars ended for simplicity.
Officially the 2nd Gulf War was indeed Iraq vs UN, though in fact it was the US and a little help from some other countries.

Like the 3rd Gulf War was indeed officially Iraq vs the coalition. Though in fact it was Iraq vs US and UK.

Though the 2003 war was bouth officially as in fact the 3rd Gulf War.
