It's not history just opinion masquerading as history.
Just a point or two. The list of allies missed out on New Zealand and South Africa. If you want to mention Scotland you might as well mention Wales but much better to just say the United Kingdom.
Ireland was neutral, the independant part anyway.
As for the rest, I believe the comparisons are spurious. Germany and Japan were a threat, not only that they had the capability to carry out their threats.
If the US can create a reasonably democratic and stable Iraq, then we ha ve an ally, like England , in the Middle East, a platform, from which we can work to help modernize and moderate the Middle East.
America already had and has allies in the middle east, Egypt, Saudi, Kuwait.
Islamic terrorism is a threat but in comparsion to the axis powers or even the Soviet Union it has no real military capability. Even a nuclear terrorist attack would only be a pinsalamander in the overall scheme of things.
The whole text is an attempt to play on people's fears and prejudice. The thrust of it is to to justify the intervention in Iraq and to characterise it as the front line in a new world war.
If you oppose this war, I hope you like the idea that your children, or grandchildren, may live in an Islamic America under the Mullahs and the Sharia, an America that resembles Iran today.
That is so absurd, it's almost laughable. There is also ridiculous notion that Europe will fall under Islamic control. Iran is Shia, the mortal enemy of the Wahabi sect thus the mortal enemy of Al Qaeda.
The author also fails to realise that Islamic terrorism is directed as much at the fellow Muslims as us infidels. The real war on terror is being fought internally. Of the hundreds of thousands who have died because of their actions. The absolute majority were in fact Muslims.
The Shia/Sunni split is the real crux of the situation. One or other would have to eliminate it's opponent before they could sail their invasion barges to the US coast.
I have to say the whole thing is a typical internet scare story.
