Haim, 'If the US was entering the war in 1940 and not in 1944 many lives would had been saved.' If I remember my history correctly we entered WWII after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941. Soon after we entered the war in Europe. Also President Franklin Delano Roosevelt initiated the Lend Lease Act a few years before that. While I am sorry about all of the lives that were lost due to the treacherous behavior of the Nazis, Italians, and Japanese if the United States hadn't entered the war when they did there would have been even more. You are barking up the wrong tree with that attitude of yours! Steve An American who is proud of our country!

Haim, I beg to differ with you. Your response was to me! And that prompted my response to you. Would you please point out what words I twisted and manuvered in your post to me. < do you need a dictionary??> No. I don't speak German and Rumanian, but I can handle English pretty damn well. < go to the history books and read why millions of WWII refugees were denied entry into the United States and were therefore exterminated.> So you are saying that the blood of 11 million people rest squarely on the hands of the USA. That if the USA would have sent busses and trains to Dachau, Bergen Belsen, etal and told the Germans we would take the refugees, they would have gladly loaded them up and let us drive away. < if US was entering the war in 1940 and not in 1944> Forgive me, I am the victim of government propaganda, we were told that we were in a World War in 1941. I appreciate you pointing out that our government lied to us for 3 years. I wonder what they did with all those men they drafted in those 3 years. <any country enters a war for economic interest.> So you are saying that if the US had not been too greedy to further their economic interests and stayed out of the war, the world would now be a better place? As for reading a history book, please send me yours, it doesn't match anything I have found to read in this country. I say we end this discussion. It is evident you don't like America, Americans, or me. That is probably the only thing good about this country, you are welcome to your opinions and I have no right to dispute them. Jim Ray
