Hi David,

The way we were taught at school was that the Americans were too concerned with other "important" stuff to be bothered. Finally the Japanese invited them to join the conflict and then all of a sudden it's "their" war...

Good one!<g>

However, if a certain prime minister had not been into a total appeasement policy and the French had acted when Alsase(sp)/Lorane was invaded.....there would have been, in all probability, no WW2. Hitler would not have gained the confidence of the military and public without initial "bloodless" successes. When the US entered, England was fighting bravely on ( and I mean that with the most respect ) but could never have hoped to "win" the war. The US simply overwhelmed the AXIS. Japan, we fought alone...England was overrun in asia years earlier. The Italians had trouble with Ethopia...we need not discuss their contributions to the Axis. So yes, I would call the winning of WW2 primarily American, which would make it "our war".

However, I liked your comment....has a ring of truth to it.<g>
