I was with you until you started the "we saved your asses in dubya-dubya two..." stuff.
Hey I didn't even notice that...

Twice we had to stop you idiots from fighting eachother, and twice our intervention brought a quick end to the war. So I do not take kindly to foreign policy advice from some American bashing European.
Ooooohhhh that sh1t really pisses me off - Americans say that to me all the time. We played just as big a part as the USA in beating the Nazis, in fact, we fought them alone for 2 years while USA refused to help! And it was generations ago!
Two words: Lend Lease
I don't get it...
when in doubt: wiki
Looked it up.
I'm sure that was very important to the war effort, but so what? Lots of other things were important too.
My point is that the USA, Britain, and Russia, all played major roles in the war, and if anyone 'saved' the rest of us it was the Russians. They took more casualties than all the other nations combined, and if they hadn't stuck with it, the Nazis might have been able to invade Britain and the USA.
Plus, it's not like that's the only time one of the western allies has helped another - Bush just clicked his fingers and hundreds of British aircraft, tens of thousands of troops and vehicles, etc jumped to his aid in Iraq.
