Bad argument Keets. Try putting your self into the shoes of these people who
had all their food, etc. stolen by their own government and placed into
warehouses, government buildings, etc. and see if you would not go looting
when liberated!
As for contracts -we spent the money to liberate them, we had soldiers that
died - so did Britain. These two countries should get the rebuilding
contracts - not the Usless Nations, and most certainly not the vile, cowardly
French! Ever hear of the Marshall Plan Keets? You might try reading a bit
about it - it was the USA rebuilding Japan and Germany after WW2 - and we did
a FAR better job than anything the then UN could ever do! The UN still
cannot handle Haiti or Kosovo even today.
