When are our dear leaders going to grow a pair? Grrrr...

Quote: Although the US was leaning towards involvement in WWII, many people still saw it as a "European" conflict. That changed on Sunday, Dec. 7 1941 with the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. A good portion of the US Navy was destroyed.

Until then, around TWO YEARS the USA was selling armaments to UK. Had the Japanned not made the error of bombing Pearl Harbour who knows if they would have ever enter WW2?

And the remarks about the western world stealing a piece of land from the Arabs in 1948 and giving it to the Jews? Is it surprising that the Arabs don't trust us.

That's what I mean John, (if they would have ever entered WW2) there's no way we would have defeated Germany and Japs without the yanks.

OK, so they only entered because they had a personal interest.

I guess that tends to show they only act when their self interest is involved! And then together with the rest of the British Commonwealth who had been there from the start, we collectively won!

Maybe had we got involved in the Vietnam war we could have saved the Yanks from their defeat!

Exactly John, the yanks think the world revolves round them, but the facts remain the same, no yanks we lose the WW2.

Vietnam, not sure if Britain got involved it would make much difference, perhaps if the rest of Europe got involved.
