All I said was Russia and Britain would not have survived without the US, in contrast to someone who said the US did nothing.

I don't "better" explain myself. You don't impress me in the slightiest manner.

American Girls
And American Guys
We'll always stand up and salute
We'll always recognize
When we see Old Glory flyin'
There's a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night
When we lay down our head.

My daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye
But he flew a flag out in our yard
Till the day that he died
He wanted my mother
My brother
My sister and me
To grow up and live happy
In the land of the free.

Now this nation that I love
Has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin' in
From somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the Fourth of July.

Hey Uncle Sam put your name
At the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly
And there's gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin' her bell
And it'll feel like the whole wide world
Is rainin' down on you
Brought to you courtesy
Of the Red, White and Blue.

Oh justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And you'll be sorry that you messed with The U.S. of A.
'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass
It's the American way.

Hey Uncle Sam put your name
At the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly
And there's gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin' her bell
And it'll feel like the whole wide world
Is rainin' down on you
Brought to you courtesy
Of the Red, White and Blue.

Oh, oh, of the Red, White and Blue
Oh, oh, of the Red, White and Blue.

That's the danger of being cocky. If you nitpick someone on the spelling of a word and make fun about him with it, you should better not do the exact same error than him the very next line.

Any Germans heard from today on this topic? I'd like to know what they think since most of the gratitude, if any, is, well you know, because they were on the other side. But, in a way, we helped them become the nation they are today.

Fair enough. I think it's ridiculous for people to carry one forever about this stuff, just as it's silly to razz the Germans about Hitler or the Russians about Stalin. If you are kidding it's one thing, but each generation is responsible for generating it's own greatness, mediocrity or infamy.

Would you care to quantify that so we can all see just how tortured your reasoning is? No one here expects much from a spoiled middle class "commie" like yourself, but I'm sure you could provide us with some amusement.

The thing I find funny about the Washington Post article is that the writer goes on and on about how the US helped Poland, but makes no mention of the fact that when Germany invaded Poland, the US remained on the sidelines.

I'll add a note of thanks to the US for what it has done to preserve democracy. The US did not win the two world wars by itself, but without its contribution, far more people would have died.

A lot of what the US did was in its own self-interest, but that's true for most nations.

The US has been an example to the rest of the world in terms of what can be achieved through democracy. While that example has been tarnished far too often by the often criminal acts of the American government, the existence of the United States has helped other countries achieve democracy. Canada achieved self-government largely as a result of what took place in the United States. The existence of a democratic government in the US forced the British to grant democracy to the Canadian provinces.
