I fear america more than Iran.
Well done! May your forefathers ( if indeed you are a brit), whom had suffered under Hitler's aeiral onslaught, and begged for USA's help, which was given at the cost of countles thousands of brave americans together with courageous troops from the free world, to INVADE NAZI Germany to end the war, not cry when they heard you said that.
While it is not necessary to show gratitude, for the past is gone, it does wonders if one could just reflect upon the terms and purpose of 'INVASION' or the 'INTERVENTION', and not based opinions upon lies or falsehoods. An error in Iraq does not mean every intervention will be errors. If so, then the intervention in nazi germany can also be considered as a mistake too.

I'm sorry, but as you like to think.... the us did not help end or win WW2. That is fantasy added to history. The US did not fight or defend britain until the end of the war, and they simply came along and dropped nukes on japan which were not needed. In fact throughout most of WW2 america was sitting on it's ass doing nothing
You sir have insulted me, my nation and my father who helped fight for Britain. I would kindly ask you to retract that statement so you do not add further injury to the truth. Claim ignorance to the truth or just a slip of the tongue because of emotions gone astray, but do not make claims like this that are unfounded.
Long before America entered the war our men were sailing across the ocean delivering the food and supplies England needed to survive, without these shipments England would have suffered much more than it already had and I would dare even say may not have survived.
Americans, on their own free will fought along side your men, piloted your airplanes and defended your soil because of the anger they felt that our nation was unwilling to come to England's aid.
They did not have to leave their loved ones, their friends and families and their jobs behind, they did so because in their hearts they knew they must, and when you make statements like the ones you have, when you pretend that men like my father, who was willing to give his life for YOUR nation did not exist, you insult me in a way that words can not describe.
I really hope you are a better person than that and will choose to retract your statement and apologize to me and the citizens of America who found it necessary to take matters into their own hands and come to England in her time of need, I would hope you would apologize to the millions of Americans who freely donated money to insure your parents and grandparents had food and medicines to continue on in their darkest hours.
Roosevelt may not have helped England when she needed help.....but the people of America reached in to their pockets, day after day, week after week, month after month and took from themselves so they could give to you.
Have you no shame at all?

I'm British and would like to say......you sir are correct in your statement but what you fail to see is that there will always be people who will make comments that have no basis in reality.... would ''BRITAIN'' have survived without the help of the americans who volunteered to protect our land....most likely...yes... we are a very resilient people however i do concede that without the events of pearl harbor forcing the governments hand then i agree the war would have been lost.......many great lives were lost French,Australians,even common german soldiers who had no ties to the nazi party and hated the regime all these people died and your wild over reaction to what was indeed an inaccurate comment made by one man belittles their sacrifice.... would you care to apologize to all the families of those soldiers?
perhaps stepping down from your pedestal might deflate your ego.....edit on 14-8-2012 by Ph03n1x because: (no reason given)
