You were talking about countries before. There weren't 100 countries involved in WW2.

The US didn't enter WW2 until 1941. At this time the war was only going for 2 years. Fresh American troops did help the Allies.

From this source it says America had 16,112,566 soldiers, 291,557 killed, and 670,846 wounded?

Name some of the other countries, US involvement turned the tide of the war. Everyone agrees to this. American equipment was used by the majority of Allied countries. the brunt of Allied bombing campaigns were carried out by, wha, American bombers. Look at the number of Allied victories before the United States entered it's military into the war, and look at the number afterward. Think about Lend-Lease in the years leading up to Pearl Harbor. You've conveniently ignored this little nugget. You have stats to back up your claim that the US did very little, stats everyone knows about, by the way, but you have nothing of real substance. Give me some actual history, instead of blank statistics, and maybe you'll have a valid point somewhere in there.

Until then it's just a bunch of anti-American hogwash, with no basis in reality, and you are cursed for making me use those words in sequence.

I wonder how many Americans know that when the solders where knocking down Sadam statues, the Iraqi that were giving the thumbs up were actually giving their eqivalant to the finger. 

Mishari question...
Do you think that all this terrorism is linked to how much money we are giving Israeli government and if we stopped would the terrorism back off. 
I am a supporter of Palestine, I think they have a just cause.  Just as the Native Americans had a just cause in the Indian wars.  Their land has been stolen, they have been put in camps.  I would like see the government stop giving Israel money but the Zionist lobby is just too big.  They kill people that go against them.  The whole situation is nuts.  The UN really s***wed up big time with putting those Europeans there.  How do you undo it?  What a mess.
Just think what the world would be like if we would stop fighting wars.  We would be colonizing the moon by now.  That is an idea, we could put the Israelis on the moon.

This is sorta off topic about America but just so you know Isreal was there before Palestine. They where just taking back what was theres in the first place Palestine should just back off cause that lands wasn't really theres in the first place.

Britain, Canada, and Russia wanted the US in, but the US said no beceause it didnt affect them, the Only reson the US joined the war is because Japan attacked


Sounds kinda like the war on terrorism, Canada won't join this war until the large amount of Muslim population in your country starts to take over, Toronto is starting to like like Karachi.

I got an Idea let's send Jimmy Hoffa to China and destroy them from within'

Woops I meant Hoffa Jr.
