> :) Damn brits just cant get over the fact we kicked the cr!p > out of them and bailed their butt out of WW2. j/k
Just a point on this The US has been late to both World Wars... World War I started on July 28, 1914 (Austria-Hungary declares war on Russia) August 4, 1914 Britain declares war on Germany and Austria-Hungary April 6, 1917 United States declares war on Germany entering the First World War. November 11, 1918 World War I ends 3 years late (in a 4 year war!) World War II started on September 3, 1939 (Great Britain and France declare war on Germany) December 8, 1941 U. S. Congress declares war on Japan December 11, 1941 Germany and Italy declare war on U. S. December 11, 1941 United States declares war on Germany May 7, 1945 Germany surrenders unconditionally in Rheims, France May 8, 1945 V-E (Victory in Europe) day June 26, 1945 United Nations Charter signed August 14, 1945 President Truman announces that hostilities between U.S. and Japan have ended September 2, 1945 Japanese delegation signs surrender documents aboard the battleship Missouri. President Truman declares V-J (Victory over Japan) day. October 4, 1945 Military occupation of Japan 2 years late (in a 7 year war) So, if you say you "bailed our butts out", then maybe if you got involved sooner, they'd be sorted sooner - rather than trying to sign "non-agression pacts" with people... See, it's only recently you've grown balls enough to attack people <gd&r> BTW, dates and stuff from www.worldhistory.com Philip Arnold Technical Director Certified ColdFusion Developer ASP Multimedia Limited Switchboard: +44 (0)20 8680 8099 Fax: +44 (0)20 8686 7911 www.aspmedia.co.uk www.aspevents.net An ISO9001 registered company. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
