Along with political suicide hindering Roosevelt, I also think that the US wasn't ready to enter into a war right away. I don't know if the US had set up production for a war effort such as World War II. Patton had a plan of throwing as many bodies at the Germans until they ran out of bullets.

I saw the D-Day memorial about 2 years ago and I can tell you that the number of men, planes, and ships sent by the US on that day was a hell of a lot larger than any other country. If I am not mistaken, England was the second largest, but still a far cry from the US.


Brithunter,

I wouldn't say that the post or article itself is directed at any single person in Europe. I think it is directed at Europe as a whole. Of course, you are probably the minority in Europe and I am glad to hear that.

A couple of years ago I read an article from a Canadian writer. He was writing about the US and how the US usually takes care of its own problems and the problems of others, and even when the US has a problem it never asks anybody for help. I don't think the US received much aid from other countries after the 9-11 disaster, but after the tsunamis the US sent plenty of aid and I also heard that they sent a carrier group over there to help.

With all that said, my parents are directly from Italy and I really do like Italy. However, the US will always be my country barring some huge disaster.
