<<Staying out of WWI didn't work . . . >>

I don't even know what that means.  The U.S.A. did NOT stay out of WWI.  They entered it voluntarily.

<< . . . and staying out of WWII didn't work . . . >>

Again, they hardly "stayed out" of WWII either - - they voluntarily slapped a scrap-iron embargo on Japan, generally considered in and of itself to be an act of war; when the Japs then bombed Pearl Harbor, the U.S.  declared war on Japan, which thereby triggered an automatic declaration of war against them by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, both bound by treaty to do so in the event of any power declaring war on Japan.

<< that was back when you couldn't fly more than a few persons across the "pond">>

So, in your opinion, in all of America's wars undertaken since 1945, which of its adversaries were capable of transporting a sustainable invasion force across any ocean to the American homeland?

<<It takes less time to cross the Atlantic or the Arctic with an attack now than it took to cross the Rine in the time of Fedrick the great.>>

Yeah, so which enemies did you fight after WWII that were capable of crossing the Atlantic or Arctic oceans and invading the U.S.A.?

<<If the US had not been an instigator and assistor in the struggle against Communism would the resistance to Communism acheiveing its worldwide goals have been adequite?>>

What a ridiculous question.  WHAT were the "worldwide goals" of "Communism?"  Who exactly confided these "worldwide goals" to you?  When were they decided upon?  Who made that decision?  Who were "the resistance to Communism achieving its worldwide goals" that the U.S. was assisting and if the U.S. was an "instigator" who did they instigate?

You seem to be living in some kind of fantasy world where "Communism" would have invaded the U.S.A. unless "Communists" were stopped everywhere else.  How could the "loss" of Korea or Vietnam, one a former Japanese colony, the other a formerly Japanese-occupied member of Japan's "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere," in any way have constituted a security threat to the U.S.A.?  How were Grenada, the D.R., Nicaragua or Panama security threats to the U.S.?

<<Many mistakes were made , but enough was done right that the mistakes of the other side made more diffrence. Communism is firmly planted in the dustbin of history.>>

Really?  Did you tell the Chinese Communist Party about this?

<<Wouldn't you know there is another international conspiracy springing up as if to replace it ?>>

Yes, what an AMAAAAAAAZING coincidence, and how fortunate for the so-called military-industrial complex.  And do you want to bet that after this "international conspiracy," there will be another, and then another, and then another?  So that every time you fork over a buck to the feds, 40 cents OR MORE of that dollar will continue to make some people (but not you) very, very wealthy?

You people are the biggest suckers ever born.  Not that you're fleeced so nakedly and so mercilessly, but that you continue to place such ludicrous faith in the liars and bullshit artists that are fleecing you.

Woodrow Wilsons campaign slogan for his re-election was "He kept us out of the war" the campaign song was "I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier". There was nearly as strong of a pro-German faction as a pro-English faction. Check out what the Fenians were doing then.

Oh is that all it took? The sinking of American flagged ships was irrelevant?

Who needs to? What tenant of Communism do they follow that would be reccomended by Marx? , If "Chineese" Communism is actually a species of capitolism why should I care what they call it?

Actually I work for the DOD so I am blessed well by our haveing dependable enemys.

I guess you do not know the purportion that the US Armed forces were reduced during the 1990's.

If you were to know this I think you would have somethign interesting and new to think about.

That is , how much Reagans "Peace Dividend" contributed to a roaring economy.

Huh?  Pardon my ignorance, but which Warsaw Pact countries did the U.S. go to war against after 1945?

All of them, as well as China , North Korea and North Vietnam and Cuba.

If you were to Google the term "Cold War" you might find out why it was that the Warsaw Pact built enough wepons for a hot war , but didn't go anywhere with them.
