No one is saying the U.S. acted alone or operated out of pure altruism. I haven't read that anywhere here. It is only you who keeps replying to comments that were never made. Drop the chip - it must be getting really heavy by now.... :o) You seem to be having your own conversation based on words that were never said.

So, if I am to understand you correctly, your point is that the allies (or specifically the U.S. if you are referring to Kevin's statement alone?) did not save "all of Europe" from totalitarian rule? If that is the case, then I agree.
