Chirac wasn't working against you, Chirac was working for you, like the
vast majority of the world he was trying to stop you making a big
mistake militarily and morally. You were too pigheaded to listen and now
you find yourself in absolute shit in Iraq, a country now in complete
anarchy.

You see you don't read things properly, I said 'it would  have destroyed
the USA as we know it' which is the case. The USA would either be under
a national socialist system itself, if Germany's might was such, or it
would
have been at its behest because they controlled the industrialized
world.

I'm not complaining about the loans or their source, I'm trying to get
into your very uneducated head some facts about the matter. I repeat:,
the USA came to Europe primarily for its own selfish reasons, it made a
fat profit out of that and assured its dominant post-war position in the
world. I am not talking about the average soldier who honestly believed
that this was entirely about fighting 'evil', I am talking about
politicians that have a far broader outlook on things, are responsible
for the direction their nation takes and for its success. Nor am I
criticising their decision, in the circumstances it was probably the
right one from the USA's point of view, but there was very little
'moral'
about it, just business.

I read history books, I see who fought who and where during WWII and I
see how many millions of Russians gave their lives in unyielding
battles.

Of course not, whatever would make you think that, oh yes, your
comprehension difficulties, or rather, your prejudices.

Yes you had selfish reasons for sending your boys to Europe to be blown
to bits just as politicians everywhere have selfish reasons for sending
their boys anywhere to be blown to bits. Get real.

Indeed and bless them all.
