"After the war, some countries recognized this, recognized the expansionist tendencies of the USSR" Yes, but what they failed to recognize was the expansionist designs of the USA. We are told that Hitler and Russia desired to conquer the world, but America has indeed conquered the world. We go into any country we desire around the globe and bomb and kill until they they get a "vision of American democracy". America has been expanding its economic and military dictatorship of the world since WWI. We are now living in the age of PAX AMERICANA The greatest beneficiaries to Americas global domination are the Jewish-Zionist. The greatest loosers are the Christian people of world. America has developed into the evil Empire that Reagan saw in Russia. As we have removed all the Bibles from our schools the Russians replaced them in their schools after the collapse of Communism. Americas aggression against the Christian Serbs is just its latest antichristian activity.

The key difference in World War I and II was that after WWI, the U.S., under the lead of the Republicans, refused to ratify the Versailles treaty and join the League of Nations and stay involved in Europe. After WWII, the U.S. lent money to help rebuild Europe (conditioned on their cooperation in OEEC), and encouraged, financed, joined and led NATO, as soon as it was recognized that the UN was fatally compromised and powerless because of the USSR veto. Even today, you can well imagine how helpless NATO would be without American leadership and command.
