"Dukie tried and failed miserably to to put a different spin on things."
I just wanted to say "No war", brag about my country's 'influence' and tell some history that they don't teach *you* in school.
"Everyone always says that the US should stay out of others affairs. I half agree. Dukie complains that the US entered WWII too late...the one time we tried to stay out and become a more xenophobic nation.
The US has a history of xenophoby and only looks outside of their borders to futher their own interests.
"Fact is, if we had never entered at all, the world would be a much different place, and I believe for the worse.
Many things the US did in WWII helped liberate the folks of France and Belgium. Now Dukie says we were to late."
You are right 100%, if the US hadn't stepped in, the world would be a different place, maybe there wouldn't be a US anymore. And that's just why the US stepped in when they did. But that doesn't justify the fact we had to wait 2(3-4?) years for them to come. Hundreds of thousands had to die while the US were selling everyone weapons. Are you telling me that did not came in too late? They didn't care. Only when *they* were feeling threatened, they intervened. The US only goes to war for their own interests.
But that was then, this is now. The NATO wasn't formed back then, so the US had no obligation to help us. It's not that I blame them. It's just like that.
"Jeesh. He is certainly entitled to his opinion, however, and I respect that."
And you are to yours, and I respect that aswell
