I'll agree that america did help win WWII, BUT and this is a big BUT, America refused to get involved with either side until they were attacked at pearl harbour. By that time Britan, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the rest had already been at war for a number of years. Proving that , unfortunatly, while America talk heap big about being the worlds big brother and being a force for good in the world, unless you back them into a corner they are quite willing to bend thier moral code at thier convenience.
The same thing happened during the gulf war, they were quite happy for iran and iraq to beat seven kinds of hell out of each other, Until thier oil interests were threatened by Saddams invasion. Then suddenly the sky is darkend by a swarm of patriot missiles.
BTW during the cold war the C.I.A actually funded the Taliban and Osama bin Ladin in thier war against Russia. They gave them weapons and training to fight with, they taught them the tactics that were used against them. It seems to me that parrallels can be drawn between this situation and Mary Shelly's Frankenstein.
Not that other countries are paragons of virtue either, Australia turned a blind eye when indonesia invaded east timor. So before I get every damn American in here sending me death threats, I am well aware that this state of affairs is not solely American. There is however one great difference-no one else has claimed to be the worlds protector.
BAM
