The USA was the dream that the civil war was fought over. A nation devoted to the principle of freedom.

Its the sacrifice of the civil war dead which gave us the nation which freed men and women from Belsen to the Gulag. It has resisted German, Soviet and now Islamic extremist imperialism.

Two smaller weaker countries would not have had that moral clout.

I am English and can see that we were lucky to have such a nation as our ally in ww2.

As an American, how can you fail to see that?
