Depends on which version of history you use, I reckon. And I guess how you define "entered the war", meaning declaring war or doing warlike "stuff". Some folk say we didn't know it was so bad over there, and when we started learning, it got us motivated. I don't buy that, but it's been argued, at least. :) No, we were pretty isolationist then, due to WW!, right? It just sounds nice, you know. Like "the civil war was about freeing slaves" type of nice. Ye got me! =) :DeN -- God its been a lovely day! everything's been going my way I took out the trash today and i'm on fire... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:318485 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
