    Nice revisionist history. I don't think there is one historian out there who would agree with you but nice anti-US sentiment. Without the help of the US the UK would have become one big V2 parking lot of rubble.

    So we should thank the French for assisting us in removing the Germans from their country? That sounds about right.

    I quite found it funny watching the discovery channel this week and seeing the french where pussy's even to the vikings.

    Apparently the king just got up and ran from Paris under fear of being killed by them.

    As for the french resistence... it is true, they where a small group. Its a known fact the goverment of france really had no problems with Germany invading as long as they got to keep their wealth. Kinda like how France was all upset we invaded Iraq because we took away all of there nice contracts with them that where paying the French wealthy millions of dollars. The French goverment parades around like they are the peoples country, when they really are just as bad as our shit stain of a presedent, in it for the greed.

    exactly, Hitler striked againt sovjet, and he i didn't brake the sovjet army line, he lost too many soldiers and at the same time he fought war in other directions. Bad strategy I say, and 20milion sovjets lost there lives but they stopped him. But that is just my view of it all. And I am a Swede, I stand natural in this ;)

    What do you consider not that great? The number of men we sent to Europe? The amount of supplies and equipment we provided? The incredible attack on Omaha Beach during D-Day?

    Please. Take your bullshit to somebody who doesn't know better. Most people argue that we should have entered earlier and that own neutrality cost thousands of lives.

    And the very large amount of weapons/ammo that the USA produced don't count? Nor do all the men that died making Normandy happen?

    You can't be serious. Are you really saying that the American involvement in World War II was insignificant?

    Winston Churchill disagreed with you. Vehemently. I bet Herr Hitler would have something to say on the subject as well.

    Roosevelt drew a foul in the Pacific in order to get into the war in Europe. We (America) turned the tide there, and then proceeded to disarm another imperialist power on the other side of the planet.

    More Russians died, more French territory was conquered, but anybody who says that the US was not responsible for containing the Axis is on crack.

    Please.

    Without US involvement, the UK would would have been slightly more battered than it was, but Germany would have still lost the war.

    The UK suvived and stopped the threat of Germany invasion *before* the US entered the war. Without US help, the war would have taken longer, and most of Europe would have fallen under the control of the Soviet Union. And the Russians never really benefited that heavily from lend lease.

    US involvement helped to secure a democratic europe. A democratic UK was never in doubt, with or without US involvement.

    FYI - I'm not european, I'm american. I happen to have a history degree, and a bit more knowledge than most armchair historians who get their facts from Rush and Sean.

    Fruitcake, do you even READ slashdot from time to time? Hey, let's do a search on slashdot for ogg+vorbis.

    In the words of Keanu : "Woah". Recently there's about 1 story per week that mentions it in the story body (the one you see in the front page, not the comments).

    As far as I can remember, Ogg Vorbis as been covered on the slashdot since they started working on it years ago. The first Ogg Vorbis story was posted on /. FOUR years ago, the anniversary was 9 days ago.

    I won't buy anything unless it cost money.

    Too bad "A CLUE" is free and you couldn't buy one. Or did you just create an account here to flame someone for the hell of it?

    Maginal Line

    Notice how by removing the two legs from the M, you get Vaginal Line.

    More seriously though, it is the Maginot Line. That way, not only you get your facts straight, but you also avoid bad jokes such as the one above.
