Well who the hell are you to analyze or interpret the feeling on our shores? You ever READ any books about WW2? Or just see John Wayne movies? I recommend you read Paul Fussel and John Keegan. (NOT Ambrose, that plagarist flag-waver writing for the Readers Digest crowd)

No one here has mentioned the Soviet contribution to the war effort. It is generally acknowledged by reputable historians that the Russians determined the outcome; the beaches at DDay, for instance, were manned by German old men and kids because the balance and cream of the German army was on the Eastern Front fighting the Russians.

IHAVENOFRIENDS does not represent sophisticaed American thought; only that small town, egocentric, xenophobic mentallity that voted Republican and then lost but stole the Presidential election.
