A rather stupid question Jon, Your saying the Jap weren't the enemy that
Hitler was? I don't remember Hilter's forces killing American
civilians but I do know the Japs did. At Pearl and after in the
Philippines!


Never said that. What you said was that Hitler was the wrong enemy, and I
asked why. Doesn't seem stupid to me.

I guess it's time for me to ask;"What's your Point?"


Iraq wasn't an enemy of the US, yet we attacked. That was my point.

I know now you considered those deaths in the Pacific expendable
lives so that we could save England's ass.


Huh? That makes no sense.

As the English were so guick to say about Americans; Over paid, over
sexed and over here. I'm afraid it's something I lived.


So, you would have preferred that England fell to Hitler, and we should have
sat on our collective butts getting ready to attack Japan? How many millions
more would have died?
