Right up there with Iraq.
Really? Talk about the war I barely heard about in school :S
Maybe there's a reason for that? ^_^

Quote:On June 1, 1812, President James Madison gave a speech to the U.S. Congress, recounting American grievances against Great Britain, though not specifically calling for a declaration of war. After Madison's speech, the House of Representatives quickly voted (79 to 49) to declare war, and the Senate by 19 to 13. The conflict formally began on June 18, 1812 when Madison signed the measure into law.
As some wag noted at the time "people's ardor for war increased with their distance from the coast."
I just saw this commercial which ( should ) annoy the piss out of you Brits.
Of course, the cars are gas-guzzling pieces of shit and the 'freedom' has been whittled down to the point of near invisibility but that doesn't stop us from making bullshit commercials.
And people wonder how religion got started!
