Hate to burst your bubble arc_ader but same quotes, different replies:


--- Quote ---If it wasn't for the involvement of the USA during WW2 Europe of today would still be German.

In fact, after the botched Operation Market Garden, the US left the liberation of The Netherlands to the Canadians. This delay caused thousands of Dutch to starve in the "hongerwinter". The city of Arnhem was finally liberated by I Canadian Corps on 14 April 1945 after two days of fighting. A surrender of the remaining German forces in the west of the Netherlands was signed on May 5.


--- Quote ---America was and still is the leader of commerce, and foreign policy.
--- End quote ---

You should really come and visit Asia or The Middle East. The Bush administration has erased much of the goodwill the US once had. The weakening dollar and the credit crunch is doing the rest. The major US banks are being bought up by Sovereign Wealth Funds from Qatar and Kuwait. More info on that can be found here and here


--- Quote ---I don't have to look at it as a political stance, I'm just invoking history.

--- Quote ---We have computers that are smaller and faster, that was originated by WW2 mechanics.  The story from Enigma to Colossus to the Duo and Quad Core processors of today is brought in part of defeating Hitler's Third Reich and their code system.
--- End quote ---

Interesting that you mention the Enigma machine. This device was built by the Germans, discovered by the British and deciphered with help of Polish intelligence. No US element was involved.  Later a movie was made that claimed that it was the US that discovered the Enigma. Is that the history you base you claims on?

Degree at 18, certified technician at 17.  Not too shabby.
