A rather stupid question Jon, Your saying the Jap weren't the enemy that
Hitler was? I don't remember Hilter's forces killing American
civilians but I do know the Japs did. At Pearl and after in the
Philippines!


Never said that. What you said was that Hitler was the wrong enemy, and I
asked why. Doesn't seem stupid to me.

I guess it's time for me to ask;"What's your Point?"


Iraq wasn't an enemy of the US, yet we attacked. That was my point.

I know now you considered those deaths in the Pacific expendable
lives so that we could save England's ass.


Huh? That makes no sense.

As the English were so guick to say about Americans; Over paid, over
sexed and over here. I'm afraid it's something I lived.


So, you would have preferred that England fell to Hitler, and we should have
sat on our collective butts getting ready to attack Japan? How many millions
more would have died?

Just think!! If GW Bush had been President then, we would have invaded
Russia or Australia, still be bogged down, and Japan would have won.


Lordy but you people are sooooooooooo stupid with your discussions. Stupid
and clueless.

Listen up. The events of September 11, 2001 changed the face of warfare
forever. This is a fact. After that heinous terrorist attack any responsible
and sensible leader of a country that had been attacked had no choice but to
assume a proactive stance against ANY EMINENT source of a new attack. Saddam
Hussein was one such source. He had to go. He is gone, thank God! Iran is
next on the list of threats. Sooner or later the leaders of Iran have to go.

It's that simple and it's been stated about a million times but you fools
still stick your fool heads up your asses and ignore the facts. You idiots
choose to stick your heads up your asses and wait for the next attack at
which time you will extend your fool necks several inches more and cram your
heads even further up your ass. Thank God President Bush is no such a
cowardly fool as you wankstains are.

What is your point, Jon?

I have friends who are German, but they live in Germany and are not in Uk
lording it over all my compatriots as they would have been if we had not
wiped Hitler off the map.

President Roosevelt would have led the U.S. into the war sooner,
probably with a quicker & better outcome, but he was strongly opposed
by Republicans.... some of whom opposed him out of isolationist
principles, some out of snotty partisanship, and others because they
were profitably trading with the Axis...

Actually, a German U-boat did surface off the East Coast, and shelled
US territory. Another U-boat once mined New York Harbor. You can
look these up.




I'm Horvath and I approve of this post.

Before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor?

I didn't think so.

The sinking of the Reuben James occured months before.

I'm thinking that his point may have been that it was a long time ago
and that citizens of the former Axis countries, and their current
gov'ts, should not be objects of hatred & invective.

I really didn't start this thread with the intention of opening old
wounds.
