The first period you're talking about was in an age where many countries colonized other countries - sometimes helping them, sometimes not

Now colonization is unacceptable in a modern democratic world and the US was not colonizing them it was doing its best to help the oppressed citizens

I gotta agree with that. I'm seeing where Infinite is comin' from too but the campaign in Afghanistan and the Revolutionary War shouldn't be compared since they are two separate situations. The English wanted to stop the colonies from becoming independant but the U.S. wants to help the people of Afghanistan become independant from the Taliban. Theres a contrast.

America/Isreal has historically enforced colonialism abroad.  After World War 2 a Jewish state was carved out of Palestine.  And Isreal is still inhabiting the West Bank and Gaza.

Another interesting similarity:  Sam Adams, John Adams and the Sons of Liberty called for a boycot of British goods in the mid-1700's.  Bin Laden and the Taliban have been calling for a boycott of American goods since the 80's.  Sam Adams enforced the boycott by publicly embarassing anyone who didn't obey the rules enforced by the Sons of Liberty.  Much the way of the Taliban, history repeats itself.  But let's pray for an end to all the violence, and the assertion of tolerance and understanding.

You can always point to similar things happening in History it doesn't mean it's the same situation

Ps - I thought we (Britain) messed up Israel?  I'm not sure about that though
