Sorry, I thought that it was clear that it wasn't Rossevelt because he didn't do that. Every example was post WWII. >It's a little like not distinguishing between western Europe and mainland Europe... Well, I was thinking of the US sphere of influence in Europe. It was Western Europe. I said mainland later because the UK and Ireland were not invaded by the Germans during WWII, and were not candidates for US nation building after the war. I'd also be more than happy to exclude the sphere of influence of the US that was not in Western Europe, but in Europe, such as Greece and (sorta) Turkey. With I used both terms, I was thinking of Europe, west of the Iron Curtain, excluding GB and Ireland. The Nordic countries were included in both cases. But, I can see how my terms might have been unclear. Dan M. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
