hmm - shouldn't that be "if it was cheap oil we where after we would invade Canada again - and the USA was a democracy in 1812

claiming credit for the USA for the european countries liberated from the Nazis would probably rankle a lot less with europeans (Brits included) had you declared war on germany in 1939..... rather than declaring neutrality and waiting for them to declare war on you in December 1941...
