[M.T. Pockets]

No two countries have done more to preserve the free world over the last century than Great Britain and the United States. Great Britain was fighting for survival from it's own soil. It was a home game for them and any country that could hold off the Nazi war machine's western front by itself deserves credit.

For the US it was a road game, Roosevelt probably crossed the neutrality line more than he was allowed to help Great Britain over the 2 years leading up to official involvement in the war.

It strikes me odd that sentiment in many European Countries today is that America should stay home, when they think we were too late helping out in WW I & WWII.

Another observation, when the former Soviet Union was a threat to the free world the US had many more friends. It was nice to have a friend with the resources and ability to fight the cold war on behalf of every free country in the world.
