I had a long discussion a few weeks back with a German WWII veteran. He was drafted into the Wehrmacht in 1944, captured by the British in 1945, and immigrated here in the 1950s. He is an extremely intelligent profesionally educated man. He also was emphatic that the US had no business entering WWII against Germany. I realize there are opinions which are contrary to ours but history has proven that allies are like leaves on a tree. They are very seasonal, sensitive to the weather, and they come and they go. History has proven the United States of America right. We have entered every conflict against the side of the oppressor, while not always sucessful we have voluntarily offered the lives of our fathers, brothers, sons and now mothers and daughters. We do what no other country, except the UK, is prepared to consistently do. In return the only thing we request is that people be allowed to determine their own destiny without the influence of despots and tyranny. The only land we have ever occupied after the war was over is a place to bury our dead. We were attacked on September 11th. Three thousand American civilians were murdered here. They would do it again 100 fold if they could. As a country we reelected GW Bush to make sure this will not happen again. The enemies of ths country are like southern fire ants. You cannot live with them, if you ignore them they will spread and attack. They will never stop until they either conquer or are destroyed.
