I ask this question as I am sick of hearing 'You'd be speaking German without us' etc etc and I point to these reasons;


i) In WW1, our national sovereignty was never in question. We were fighting to help our Allies (from the start I may add!) in a foreign country. The notion of an invasion against Britain was never there. We were also not too badly for the TWO years we were going alone. The US chose to enter the war not to help us but because they didn't like losing masses of shipping to German U-Boats (namely the Lusitania).

ii) In WW2, we had already been through the rough patch of the Blitz etc and Operation Sealion (the German invasion of Britain) had been long since permanently postponed due to the RAF's air superiority over the Channel before the Japenese caught America napping and made them join the fight. So, had America not entered the war, the Continent may now have a slightly more Bavarian tone, but we would still very much be here and more importantly, be BRITISH.

Well said - most Americans seem to forget that both wars started long before they got involved and then only because it had started to affect them!

I don't give a toss about the Americans, there so far up their own backsides it just stirs my guts. Every war that the planks have gone into they've completely ballsed up starting from WW1 to Gulf 2. They make all the noise that hey the Americans are a caring society but in fact it's them who kick half the wars off.

It doesn't help when you have a war mongering plonker like the old bush man shouting his mouth off every second saying we will win with wisdom and character. Georg W Bush in my opinion,and I know this is going to get right up any plank's nose, wouldn't know wisdom if it came up behind him and bit his testicles off. He only got the job because he cheated his way into the white house, oh yeah and fixing the results of the election.

I remember on 9 11 when he was told of the towers,( god rest all who died ) that he was more or less r ordered to get in the presidential limo by his aide.

Now obviously there will be the odd hundred thousand Americans out there who have now an instant hate for me so in my defence I'll say this. The Americans aren't that stupid. Think about it people, they got a hell of a lot more water between them and France than we have.

This is because the Americans have never actually won a war, during the first world war their contribution to the actual fighting was almost pitiful. During the second the Americans only joined the fight against the Germans because Hitler declared war on American this upset almost every American because 99.99 % of Americans actually supported the aims of the Germans and every business and bank continued to trade with Germany throughout the war, people like Bush, Rice, Nixon, the Clintons made 100's of millions of dollars from trading with the Germans and almost all Americans supported the right wing lunatic ideas of Hitler and his crew.

Have you also noticed the fact that America has never actually won a war without the UK's help?

All I need to say is Vietnam!

Oh, by the way, if America is such a wonderfull place, how come it's the most hated nation in the Western World after France (and that's before they beat Ireland today at rugby!). Some country they are too for being invaded by Canada!

In WWII They specifically stayed out of the war and didn't want to get involved. Its only when they found out that Hitler was paying Mexico to give them a hard time in the south before they realised that it was a World war.

Good answers to all, except the yank who seems to forget the American need us to be in debt to them cos they can't fight jack shi.t on their own, except their own troops and the allies.What they have got is massive fire power,but it seems its in the hands of the wrong people.
