Russel,

It seems to be more a matter of context and
interpretation I think.

That's how I'm taking it anyway.

Either that or perhaps a complete lack of
understanding of history?

(My intent was to attempt to extrapolte what the
 world could have turned should the US have chosen
 to remain isolationist - as the US was prior to
 Dec 7, 1941.
 MANY movies play this same game as a theme - showing
 Hitler ruling the eastern half of the world - should
 I  simply have referenced one of those movies? I
 thought we were adults here, perhaps I err.
 So why does NO ONE ask me what I meant rather than
 try to pick a fight and post what seems to be
 inflamatory material?)
