Are we talking about the same thing?
He marched into Poland, He was on some sort of 'expansionist kick' and the
'eliminating all but the 'Supreme race'. Of course we stood up to that. I
wouldn't necessarily call that stOOpid. The war with Iraq, on the other hand...
The *Allies* won the war, not the Americans. No chip if we say the Allies
won the war--the chip shows up when "Damn Yankee Mentality" shows up and
takes credit.
I also wouldn't say that the good ol' USofA 'bailed out' anyone--you came
into the war 'cause you got your teeth kicked. If PH didn't happen, would
you guys even have bothered? You came into it for you own reasons.
