It's okay; you can be re-educated...

**notyoueither** · September 1, 2002, 04:12

So too can you.

**KrazyHorse** · September 1, 2002, 04:16

Hah. I'd convert my re-educators...

**notyoueither** · September 1, 2002, 04:38

That's OK. We'll take Che.

You can be free to be you. We're better off that way. You're too smart to keep your current convictions for too long.

Che, we're worried about.

The embargo on Japan was a response to their entirely unjustified war of aggression in China, while Lend-Lease was to help defend Britain against equally unjustified German aggression.

GT, It appears that you and I agree that we had all but declared war on the Axis prior to Pearl Harbor. Even though history records that Japan sneak-attacked, and Germany declared war, we, not they, were the aggressors. We deliberately intervened on the side of the UK and China.

But, to my point. Why did we do it? SD says it was because of our self-interest? I asked, naturally, what interest?

Why did we aggressively intervene - other than to "save democracy?"

I can't believe I read all of this thread.

Oh well, that's my fiction reading for this day.

Japan and Germany were two major powers both with major designs on expansion, and thus obvious enemies.

Sitting around doing nothing was certainly not going to help its interests in the future.

If the US was so interested in saving democracy, why did it do nothing to overthrow countless other despotic regimes, both before and after the war? And why did it assist in overthrowing democratically elected governments, simply because they were not America friendly?

**David Floyd** · September 1, 2002, 13:08

**Sava** · September 1, 2002, 13:13

I fear the wrath of Ming.... I might be able to PM you some links later...
