Answer: Nothing.

What did the shores of Normandy, France have to do with Berlin, Germany and Hitler?

You passives are going to get a lot of Americans killed!

I'm not happy with the answers I've researched and I'm ashamed that my country would do such things, but to throw 100% of the blame onto others shows a complete understanding of how the world works. America can be great, but it isn't and it won't be if it refuses to address the truth. It's not a one-way street.

What happens to the guy who claims he's #1? He gets shot down. And it's his fault every time.
Dude, you made an assertion about "crimes". Don't weazle your way out and ask about what's NOT happened. Jeeez. In America that's what we called being chicken(manure). Put another way, evading the question.

I can think of one country the U.S. has invaded that posed no threat - Iraq.

34, and as for needing work in history, I've forgotten more about the Middle East than you've ever read.

The fascists want to pretend Saddam Hussein attacked us on 9/11, it is scary of what they think about the current Preident. Death threats against him have skyrocketed. There are some real sick people in this country
For 7 years the left politicized it

Pretty sure your fruit salad would not work when your at war.

Why did we attack the Philippines and Okinawa, to get to Tokyo?

The reason you have no answer, you have no clue.

Uh, the Philippines and Okinawa were controlled by a nation that attacked us. The 9/11 attacks were by an organization that operates in more than 40 countries, NOT by a nation/state.

It's you that's clueless about our alleged retaliation against those who attacked us. Perhaps someday you'll learn to distinguish apples from oranges. At this point? Total fail.

Oh, maybe about 380,000 German troops?

I can't wait to hear how this dovetails with your version of the war in Iraq. Seriously, I really want to know.

A better question is why we stole the Phillipines and Hawaii from the rightful inhabitants to begin with. Had we not, we would've done the right thing and avoided the war into the bargain.
