[quote=Incoherent]Sweden?
You’re correct I forgot the Swedes were "neutral" during the war as were the Swiss. I left the Swiss of because they were "neutral" Finland...I didn't want to get into a discussion on their role in WW2. It was just easier to leave them off.
Marcos was supported by the US as was Pinochet of Chile. However, both regimes were under constant pressure to make democratic reforms. The US did not give support to Marcos when he was given the boot. In fact we helped seize a lot of assets that Marcos had hidden in the United States. Unfortunately we had to deal with a lot of these tin pot dictators during the Cold War.

The need for liberation was create by the aggressors which were German not Americans. You can thank the French for the environment which helped bring the Nazis to power. It all goes back to the Treaty of Versailles and the French insistence on draconian reparations.
Germany was democratic WTF the Weimar Republic died and was replaced by a dictator.
Japan – I think it is a shame that we targeted a civilians but difficult to Monday morning quarter back that decision given all the circumstances.
