Answer 1

Well, they wouldn't save that they're having the same problems with Islamic take-overs of countries on their doorsteps as well. Look at South-East Asia for China, or many of the African nations, or the huge Islamic trend in South America.

Get a majority, change the nation to Islamic, then ban all other groups, democracy, and other religions.

Worked great until Osama. He blew it. Woke the Sleeping Giant. His goals were why the Saudis kicked him out.

Answer 2

Really? Not learning much in those history classes over there, eh? Long, long before Pearl Harbor, perhaps as early as 1936, there was a little something called "Lend Lease" that basically had the US making weapons, tanks, etc. for Britain, I assume by your spelling that's where you are, and giving these things to them. We also sent supplies of food and clothing even though many of those ships were sunk by German U boots. In fact, although most of the people in the US were isolationists, mostly because we jumped in the trenches along side Britain in WWI, which had very little to do with us, making armaments for Britain was helping this country recover from the Great Depression. No worker would have given that up.

And then let's not forget that we didn't just join the war by fighting in the Pacific against our attacker, but we sent men to fight and die in Europe as well. Churchill surmised that Britain would have been defeated had we not come in when we did. I gave an uncle to the European campaign. He didn't come home, except in a box.

There is more to support than actually sending troops to the battlefield. Without the armaments and other supplies that many Americans not only risked their lives to get to you but some actually died in the attempt, Britain would not have been able to hold out for as long as it had before we actively joined the fighting. Perhaps you should start attending your history studies classes.

Answer 3

Yeah I know what you are saying but at the same time that was then & we are better off having them as our friends than our enemies & hopfully all this Iraq Afganstan war will be over

Answer 4

we should have gotten involved in 38 and stopped hitler at paris then pushed his ass back. I like Patton and what he said about russia. We have the men, the will to go to moscow. there would have been no cold war...

Answer 5

Maybe they would have joined WWII later, after all there were a lot of pro-war people around. Anyway, you can't compare this war to WWII, it's a lot different.

Answer 6

You dont have to do anything, we're fine on our own. Plus we always have Britain and Israel to back us up if the US will ever need it. But always remember, if not for America; youd be speaking German.
