heartc,

if the Americans were so set on promoting freedom in the world then they should've acted when the nazi star was still in ascent. Throughout the 30's the Americans were very silent and yes, even collaborated with the nazis and helped their warmachine get on it's feet. In the US the German American Bund was very popular having rallies in, among other places, the packed Madison Square Garden. Only with Pearl Harbor and acts of aggression against the US by the nazis did US get fully into the war and then they delayed the opening up of the second front until very late in the war.

Also during the reign of Soviet Union the US was pretty happy to divide the resources with the Soviets and not really challenge their grip on Europe. Proxy wars in the third world don't look like the acts of the vanguard of freedom but rather the continuation of the age old rule of the colonialists. And this was the role that the US tried and is still trying to grasp, the role of the colonial master in the third world given up by the Europeans. Too bad the US is constantly getting it's ass handed to it by small poor developing nations.
