Pretty nice of us considering that the Soviets started the war just like Germany by invading Poland (why they were ever considered on the same side is beyond me, we should have pushed in the west, then let the 2 kill each other in the east til nothing was left, iMHO).

Because the western allies couldn't have won the war without the soviets? could that be why. The only reason Normandy was as successful as it was is because the Germans were cough up in a extensive 2 to 3 front war and were spread very thin, if the soviets had have been out of the game, the allies would have had to face much larger concentrations of german troops, and the German air force would have been in much more strength.
And if the Germans had broke, all western Europe would be soviet, boom same situation.
