Subject: RE: BS: Afghan War mistake or wise
Oh Don as a postscipt, while Great Britain, her Empire and the Soviets may have been able to eventually defeat the Axis powers, having achieved that victory without that little thing called the "Marshall Plan" we would have been stuffed, and while the Soviets may have assisted in defeating Germany I believe that they would have sat back and watched as far as our struggle against Italy and Japan, in the hope that in our further weakened state we would fall to them too.
Have we got a great deal to be thankful to the United States of America?? Bloody right we have - the whole of the free world has.
