I think we'll even talk some more about India, before we're through. And Burma. And Java. And Indo-China. And Indonesia. And all the African colonies. And Egypt and Palestine. We'll talk about 'em all."

Oh Lefty... you know that's nothing but revisionist US imperialist history... Roosevelt was actually cleverly manipulated into dissolving the British Empire so it would set the stage for that clever US enslavement and subjugation of the world that Raymond was referring to...

LOL!!!

Neither the US, nor the American people ever had much of a belly for competing with the European imperialist powers. So the only way we could eliminate the artificial advantage they received economically from exploiting their colonies, was to force their dissolution, besides it being the right thing to do in order to alleviate the massive poverty that existed around the world (and which still has not been eliminated).

And the US tried to do this while have a communist knife constantly held to its throat, either directly, or through marxist proxy states.

Thanks for copying that anecdote for us from Roosevelt's book (please don't tell me you retyped all of that.. :0)
