Something I always thought was odd, my grandfather hated japanese cars, when my dad bought a mazda pickup truck my grandfather had a **** FIT. However he had no problem with the kraut kars. Strange. My Dad said it was because Japan had the audacity to bomb the homeland and that was unforgivable. I dunno, I think I would have been ok with it if he hated all japanese and german cars (prolly not cause i love them both).
Oh I almost forgot to help the younger americans along. You see Japan bombed pearl harbor and that is what pushed us into WW2 (well it was enough to get the people behind our entering world war two, FDR wanted in the mix so bad he could taste it.... hey we needed something to get us out of the 1st depression
, unite the starving homeless people behind a common cause!)

What's really bad about this post is the fact you completely forgot to mention the Spanish Civil War. When it comes down to it, everything was Spain's fault. We could have rocked Germany if they hadn't already trained at and refined blitzkrieg then could have turned our attention to Japan before Pearl Harbor was touched. Hell, the Russians might have even helped out, what with the expansion into China and all. Time to write an alternate history book I'm thinking....:P

Refining the blitzkrieg kinda had a small cost of thousands upon thousands of spanish lives though...
According to John McCain
1) Spain is in south america
2) Spain is our enemy
My question is, how the **** did spain and germany have a war if spain is in south america.
HUH? Got you there didn't i!

I guess that raises a good point though, it's easier to go to war with the Faulklands than ask a Scottish farmer for his sheep...
It's never a good idea to get between a man and his sheep!
