RE: China’s accelerating growth, implications?

They didnt??? I can think of quite a few “meat grinders” in Korea and Nam. An other reason is that US didnt border Japan or Germany.. if you had Panzer divizions rolling over your land.. you would be forced to draw a line and get into a meatgrinder.

Ad finaly by the time Yanks and the ontorage had landed on the french soil, the main battles have been alredy fough, the german force cracked and on the retreat on the easter front. After Stalingrad, ang Battle of Kursk germans had alredy lost the war, they never advanced one foot eas.. but just retreated. And both of these battles happend more than a 1 year before famed landing which west propetuated as beginning of the end of the Reich.. BULLSHIT. The beginging of the end for hitler was not operation Overlord but Operation Barbarosa.

Finaly… the Alies faced only the fraction of the troop Red army faced, and the best men and the armour of germans went east in far greater numbers then they did west… and still red army was first into berlin. So how about we give them some deserved respest .. OK “Partneer”?

RE: UN vs US

Austria — To close to western nations (germany).. if he attacked it would have resulted in ww3.

Finland– well he did try didnt he?? Only fins gave him good kick in the but.. mainly due to crapy Soviet equipment and tactic.. after ww2 when Soviets greatly improved in both.. the Finland was out of reach for same reason as was austria.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 22-09-02 AT 08:40 AM (GMT)]Typical Redneck arogance.. When UN resolution is in our favour we cling to it… ive herd GWB mention the resolutions that Iraq broke and how thats “illegal”… then in same sentance states that hes prepared to go at it alone .. breaking hte same rukes and doing the same thing that he just accused Saddam of .

It quite clear that US view is that UN rules should apply to everybody but the US.. kinda like the War crimes Court.
