Dakota : If June 6, 1944 (well so what are talking about ...WE WE WE let the French Wathever ... WE did TOO OK) Now you are talking about June 6 1944 (What That was what I was talking about also !!!) but as you can see we do still pay to your country ... what about yours ... SO PLEASE ... FORGET ABOUT TELLING US WE OWN YOU WHATHEVER !!! OK !
Did I say you owed us anything? Or, did I answer you about what we owe you? Lafeyette, Statue of Liberty? As for France paying what is owed, wasn't it DeGaul who refused to repay debts incurred from WW2? Personally, I believe American blood in the 20th century more than repayed what we received from Lafeyette 200 years ago.
Yes, we have much to thank France for, in addition to what you mentioned. Twice having to leave the comforts of our homes to help liberate France from oppression and the inheritance of Vietnam, for starters. What do I want from France today? Nothing! What do I feel France owes us? Nothing! However, it would have been appreciated for a little support, but you all were free not too. No big deal. But, to arm one of the world's bloodiest dictators with weapons to use against us wasn't actually the support we would have appreciated.
and please do not confused HITLER with SADDAM ... BIG DIFFERENCE HERE !
That is a matter of opinion. Of course, Saddam didn't slaughter thousands of civilians or invade neighboring countries. Only Hitler did that. We may never know how far Saddam may have gone had appeasements continued of him.
HITTLER WAS A THREAT for THE WORLD !!! ... AND YOU KNEW IT ... AND THEY WERE WAY MORE IN ADVANCE TECHNICALLY and FANATICS ... etc ... We were lucky that their were tired and stupid (1) enough to fight both sides )... JUST imagine after 5 years of war ...
Yes, Hitler was a threat to the world. Many tried to appease him too and where did it end? Couldn't he have been handled long before and maybe saved a few million lives? But, stupid? I have to disagree. Fanatical, yes, but not stupid. You don't conquer most all of Europe by being stupid. France's Maginot Line was a well conceived and well built defense against future German aggression (for it's time). They had no problem getting around it, did they?
