"Down here the gov't cannot legally force a private company to give away its product" But they can prevent you from trade with other Nations--witness Cuba. Government can permit or not permit trade with foreign nations To "give" anything to Britain without "giving" to Italy or Germany would have violated the neutrality laws of non-intervention. However, if it is simply business for profit it can be rationalized as neutrality. "as the Germans correctly noted, it was an act of war" Yes..it was a violation of International Law to act against a country with whom you were not at war. So Germany quickly declared war. "The US gov't was (illegally) waging war on Germany without a declaration of war by Congress!" As of Sept 11, 1941 they were definitely doing more than sell guns... "In case you haven't noticed, WE ARE NO LONGER BRITISH SUBJECTS" Don't kid yourself! The Brits left Canada over here just to keep an eye on you! And as the second largest country in the world, we don't take no back talk. <g>
