Just out of interest Powell, did the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour (sorry, Harbor) not significantly contribute to your entry into the second world war (about 3 years after sitting on the side watching London, Paris etc getting bombed to oblivion?)...

I think you'll find the UK and France are both capable of destroying the entire planet a few times over with their own nuclear arsenal and would not need to defer to yours or the Russians or the Indians or the Pakistanis or the Israelis or the North Koreans (who Bush seems to not have noticed lately).

my father was a p.o.w. for 2 years in ww2, the europeans haved lived there appeaser life on the back of the u.s. tax payer for 50 years. we protected them from the big bad russians while they spent pennies on defense. then they have the gall to stab us in the back.the only reason they could live there socialist lazy lifestyle is because the u.s. guaranteed there protection.
