Subject: RE: BS: Who loathes the USA: A quiz from the BBC
I love the USA. I have trained with the National Guard in Kentucky and Rhode Island, where I earned US para wings that I wear with pride.
WW2 has been thrust at us (Brits) in this thread as putting us in your debt. Well yes, but
1.Hitler was a threat to the world not just us. How about some credit for us standing alone for a year against him, thwarting his attempt to invade us, and defeating his German and Italian armies in Africa before you joined us.
2. You did not join us until they attacked you.
The Martial Plan however puts us and all Europe deeply in your debt.

PS Sadaam, like Hitler, is a threat to all. I am glad we are not hesitating to join you.
Best wishes,
Keith.
