I suppose you have a good excuse for Yalta too?

Defenders of petty politics then, are likely defenders of petty politics now.

Check out the evidence in the books I cited, available in its summaries before you defend the scoundrels with patriotic claptrap.

"I suppose you have a good excuse for Yalta too?"

Your problems begin and end with the decisions of the Roosevelt administration. Take it up with him, but drop this collectivist "we" b.s.

In 1939, the U.S. military was 17th in the world in terms of size. Our troops were literally training with broomsticks for rifles and trucks labelled "tank." Militarily we couldn't do dick to nazi germany at that time. Sorry, you might not like that fact, but it is a fact. When we did finally gear up, we didn't stop until it was over, over there.

You call it "petty politics" but Great Britain lost over 800,000 men in WWI and France lost over 1,300,000 men. Strangely, they really weren't interested in getting into another dust up with Germany just 20 years later. It's crazy, I know.

I noted that you didn't answer my question about the utility of bombing auschwitz - I'll take that as your tacit admission that it would have accomplish exactly nothing.
