May I take this opportunity to worship at the feet of all Americans for saving my puny Island from certain destruction. We held out from 1939 until 1944 without them, but that one year that they helped us was, of course, the decider. Thank You Thank you Thank you.
p.s Thank You.


I am of the belief that in spite of England's requests for help and American lend-lease aid (for the better part of what, 10 years?), Hitler would have eventually fallen without US intervention, so you're barking up the wrong tree (at least with me). Believe me, I'm an isolationist by nature (duh), so the last thing I want is the US fighting European wars. The world handled it's own problems for 150 years without us getting involved. It could get used to it again. WWII set a precedent that too many US politicians take waaaay too seriously: We must intervene everywhere at all times and act as a police force for the world.


Agreed Sage, good point.
