 FS>> So when do you Europeans plan standing up and helping instead of
 FS>> merely sitting and watching *us* do your work?
 
 AS>> Well. What you, personally, do ? I'm ready to do the same !
 
 FS> I'm paying taxes to support our troops.  I'm glad you now offer
 FS> to send money to our gummint.

 AS> The moment I take a profit from your economy I'll pay a taxes to your
 AS> gummint. I hope your gammit doesn't need my personal philanthropy ?

Wait!  You *promised* (see above)!!!  Do promises mean *nothing* 
to you?
 
 FS>> I realize you're
 FS>> in the habit of letting us win your wars (WWI and WWII, for
 FS>> example), but wouldn't it be nice if you helped a bit?
 
 AS>> You never won WW2, you just had profited from it ..
 
 FS> Huh?  The US won WWII with only a modicum of help from other
 FS> nations.

 AS> It's a fairy tale.
 
In a sense, yes.  It seems almost too good to be true, but it 
*is* true.  Read any history book.

 FS> If we hadn't stepped in you'd be speaking German (or
 FS> Japanese) by now.

 AS> It's another fairy tale. But it is possible that you'd speak
 AS> Japan if Germany helped Japan instead of making a big mistake
 AS> to invade Russia.

That was a mistake -- however it was kind of good, seeing two 
bloody tyrants, Hitler and Stalin, going for each other's 
throats!
 
 AS>> Look at this map and show me there how much fascists
 AS>> your troops destroyed.
 
 AS>> http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/ww2-loss.htm
 
 FS> I don't see any map.  And as I've mentioned many times I use a
 FS> DOS-based off-line reader so I cannot simply cut and paste the
 FS> website shown ...

 AS> It's a pity. You cannot afford yourself modern software ? For some
 AS> $1500 you can buy pretty nice notebook with IE preinstalled. Just
 AS> try, I'm sure you will enjoy it.
 
I *have* Internet Explorer installed on all three of my 
computers.  However I'm using BlueWave which was the very best 
off-line reader of the early 1990s.  And it happens to be 
DOS-based.  As the saying goes, "If it aint broke don't fix 
it!"

 FS> besides the total number of enemy troops killed
 FS> isn't of much importance.  What *is* important is who *won*.  And
 FS> *we* won!!

 AS> OK. You may think whatever you wish. Just be aware, that outside
 AS> US you have nobody to share your enjoyment from this silly idea.
 AS> A war is won by a side that destroyed the most enemies. This is
 AS> how it is considered here. It seems you consider a war is won
 AS> by those, who are louder crying.

Oh?  Since the Nazis killed far more Russians than the Russians 
killed Germans is Germany considered the victor of the 
German/Russian war??

... Christmas time will soon be here by golly/disapproval would be folly
