John,

I really don't no where to start a reply to your post. I know you
sure
have history twisted around.

First lets take Lindberg. He warned us and Europe about Hilter and
his
strength and was ignored. Did you ever hear of the saying "Peace in
our
time"? That was said after Lindberg warning, which Europe didn't
want to
hear.

About external forement, my God where have you learned your history.
Do
you know how Cuba and the Philippines came into being after the
Spanish
American War, Have you any idea at all how just about every nation
in
the Middle East came into being after the Turk were defeated in WW1
by
moslem tribe under British leadership. After WW2 the China Communist
came into being with the exception of Taiwan, All the countries of
Europe blame us for losing their colonies. The French were driven
out of
North Africa after the Allies defeated the Germans

Have you ever heard of the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan?
The Lendlease Plan, Berlin Airlift, The Formation of the UN, Nato.
The
creation of Israel.

John, I've only covered some of our involvement. All
non-isolationist

My only comment to you is cure yourself of the myopic view of World
History. You really do seem to be missing a lot.

Your hero, Lindbergh. All of this stuff has been in the public domain for
years. You must be the last person on the planet that didn't know about
this.

American War,

Not exactly sure what this had to do with my original post. Oh, I see. Well,
let me explain briefly. The Cubans and Filipinos didn't revolt against the
Spanish, we occupied those countries. So you consider Cuba to be a success?
There are a LOT of Cubans in south Florida that would disagree with you. As
far as the Philippines go, you are probably completely clueless about any of
this, so you can ignore the title, "Imperial Amnesia", which would imply
that you knew some of this at one time or another.

Really, Thom, all of this information is at your fingertips, literally.

The Lendlease Plan, Berlin Airlift, The Formation of the UN, Nato. The
creation of Israel.

When you comment on a post, it helps if you leave some of the original, if
only so you don't forget what was written. Try this:

"In the 20's, under 3 successive Republican administration, the US
followed a policy of isolationism and non-engagement, as did a clear
majority of the population."

Part of my original post, I might have added, the isolationist sentiments of
a majority of Americans continued up until Pearl Harbor, fortunately the
Roosevelt administration("Lend Lease"), didn't share those sentiments.

Berlin airlift, formation of the UN, the Marshall Plan, formation of NATO
all occurred during the Truman administration

History. You really do seem to be missing a lot.


It appears that I've forgotten more than you ever knew.

It seems to me that Scotty has been pretty open about his gayness. Doesn't
explain the Siedlemann though.

John,

I'd like to add a foot note;
Do you know where the Lindberg's lived when they returned from Europe?
They settled on the north shore of Long Island.
Oyster Bay Township. Their children's cook was my Aunt. Lindy and Anne
flew the first route that later became PanAm routes. Their home gave
Lindy good access to Gruman aircraft and Republic aircraft factories
where they used him as a consultant

Cubans in the USA weren't there until Castro took power, long after Cuba
was free from Spain. John, those people didn't flee to Spain, did they.
Good old USA

Your Hartford article open in its first paragraph to it being a
un-validate information

I hope you aren't to put out if I'm not impressed by your reply.

Thom,
There is a very big difference between Hitler and Saddam.

Hitler invaded other countries *without* US permission.

Saddam sought US permission before launching any attacks.

I've waited all day and no one seems to rememder.


Many of us remembered. Many of us are *very* aware of the sacrifices that
have been made on our behalf.


It's one thing to watch films like "The Longest Day", - it's another thing
to actually visit the beaches where the allies landed. I nearly vomited
when I saw the cliffs at Arramaches. I couldn't believe that young kids
were asked to risk their lives in such circumstances.
