We did make a mistake by sticking our noses into european business a few times over the last century. You would have enjoyed being a subject of the Reich prior to being a subject of Stalin.
In hindsight, I do wish we had left you to your own means.
Of course, then again you would have still been firebombing German civilians until you surrendered, so your country would still have been just as wrong as it was when we intervened, right?
I really get tired of listening to people who won't stand up for themselves and instead try to take a holier than thou attitude with the people who protect them. It is an easy and cowardly thing to do - you know people still have to do the dirty work that protects you in order to protect themselves because they aren't allowed to leave you unprotected, but you can cop an attitude and bi+ch about them because you know they still have to defend you.
It would be nice to be able to leave those people to their own means. William, as (almost) always, I agree with you 100%. That imperial country known as the U.S. saved Europe's bacon in the 20th century...twice.
