    well, when hitlar heard that new FRESH american troops were arriving to the war, he went into panic and started making stupider choices then what he was already making at that point in time. but i the very big power came from the troops that were already there or from that countries that were already serving the war. so, i'm not sure us was a big help in the war in europe. and it needed most ofit's power in the pacific..

    Umm... NO. Now you are putting words in my mouth. But I would love for you to explain to me how us supplying Britain fresh troops and equipment would hurt them. Do you understand how much material was coming out of American factories? We were producing bombers by the hour and cars by the minute.

    I'll give the Soviets their due. Politically, they were conniving weasels playing off one side, then the other. (Let's not get too carried away here. Stalin was tight with Adolph when it fit his plans in the beginning.)
    Yes, Stalin did change sides numerous times. But at the end of the day, Hitler's aim was to destroy the Judaeo Bolsheviks (all part of his hatred towards jews). Regardless of what their bungling, indecisive and often stupid leader was doing politically, the struggle overcome by the civillian population of Russia was truely inconceivable.

    minesweeper,

    Totally agreed, though I'm not "happy" with the aftermath. Moot point, now.

    The Russian people "rose to the occasion" beyond what we may possibly conceive nowadays.

    The soldiers that were fighting in the war were already tired, sick, some had mental illness, fed up with the war etc. American troops, who, hasn't been in war yet, were all ready for action and was healthy...this was the thought that made hitlar scared. It's the fear that counted.
    oh i'm sorry! i didn;t realize my fist was rushing to meet ur face!

    so wihtout US i would say the world would have been a better place to live in...
    No offense at all but shut the **** up! Taking certain actions the US has done away may have made the world a better place (then again what country doesn't that apply to?), but taking out the US entirely would not and will not make the world a better place. In fact it would make the world a far worse place. The US believe it or not has actually done more good than evil.

    Geez I am seriously ........ed off now!!
    Yup, I feel the sameway. Hearing BS comments about your country can be irritating.

    It's all America. The rest of the world just hasn't clued to that yet-- With that in mind, allow me to describe my brief Foreign Policy, should I ever be elected:

    1) If you so much as harm or kill even a single American Citizen, we will wipe out your Capital City. If you continue we will continue wiping out cities until there are none of you left.

    2) If we must cause an American Soldier to plant a foot on your soil-- we aren't coming to help you or fight you. We're coming to conquer you. You will become part of the US. You don't have to like it.

    Very straightforward and effective foreign policy. Non aggressive. The other side must make the first move. God help them if they do.

    As for American Immigration Policy, it's Simple as well--

    1) You will learn the English language.

    2) You will not be allowed to bring your crappy culture into this country. No Little China, no Little Cuba. If you want to replicate the hellhole you ran from again, then you can just stay in your mess where you live.

    3) You will be allowed to practice you religion freely, so long as it does not include terrorist acts, or acts of violence against anyone.

    4) You will not be allowed to ***** about how you should be compensated because 100 years ago, your great-great-great-so-and-so was a slave. You are reminded that it was the black man who introduced slavery to the English. So if you seek restitution at all, talk to your brothers.

    As for Domestic Policy

    1) You are an American-- sovereign to all other ethnicities-- live well, be happy. The world is your Oyster, go take what you will. Your government's behind you.

    I *think* you're kidding, but I can't be sure. You are, right? Please?

    I'm quite appalled as an american. I mean, you mentioned New York and Hollywood, but failed to list the TRUE cultural center of the world: Memphis.

    "WE WILL BURY YOU"..........................................Thank you!

    BTW, Everyone is an American at heart.

    Yes, the Americans had better weather predicting facilities than the germans, hence the victory @ normandy

    Well, it wasn't as if the Germans weren't aware of weather patterns. They certainly knew the winter would be hard in Russia, they were just being hasty....I really think Germany could've won, too. I can't believe such a small nation could be so tenacious. In a way, you have to respect that spirit, anyway....
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }
