No, you're taking what I'm saying and trying to fit it into your self-imposed black or white choices. Just because I don't believe the US attacked Germany to alleviate the suffering of others doesn't mean I think it was wrong to attack Germany.

You sure don't paint it as a 'right' picture either. American may have been moving on their own motives, just like 'every' other country in the world does/has. I really can't see your problem with that.
Did Canada join WW2 to ease the suffering of others?

As I've said numerous times (and typical of you to ignore it) it is the motives I'm inquiring about, not the consequences. You seem to be missing the point; I'm not declaring that Germany should not have been attacked. I'm questioning some people's beliefs that the US was a supreme force for good and justice like some sort of Superman, and attacked Germany in a pure good vs. evil sense. I think that ignores 'realism'.

Where did anyone declare the US 'is' a supreme force for good? Whatever their motives were, is irelevent, as I'm pretty sure Canada, and many of the other allied nations did not join WW2 as a pure good vs. evil sense. What is important, and should be, is the outcome.
