My Manifesto: The Incoherent Ramblings of a Madman

Why is it that America seems to think it has won a war when history has shown there are no wars of note that America has ever won?

Independance - French won it....
WW2 - the Russians won it with a little help from Hitler not waging war properly;
Vietnam - American could have won it in the first 2 weeks if they knew what they were doing, but in the end it was pretty much a stale mate;
Korea- no one won it and the way things are headed it may be happening all over again;
Iraq 1 - Bush Snr gets voted out, Hussein lived on;
Afghanistan/Iraq/War on terror - it's a little to easy to kick a man when he's down with regard to these feats.

On a lighter note...I got a ticket today for driving through a tollway and not paying when there was no tollbooth to pay at. I don't understand why anyone would create a tollway that you have to pay at the beginning of the week or you are not allowed on it because there is no tollbooth. It doesn't make any sense! They've created a road that is for the exclusive use of locals and locals only. How is an interstate person meant to realise that they can't drive on it because they have to pay else where? By the time you realise there is no tollbooth on the road you are through it and thinking to yourself "maybe it wasn't a tollway after all". I can say for certain that if the sign had said "Sydney for free -> this way" and "Sydney for a $45 fine for all people who do not have divine powers making them realise that they can't pay the toll fee on the toll and for stupid out of towners <- that way" I'd not have gone anywhere near the damn road! :(
