As to the WWII comment made about Pearl Harbor, its subjective isn't it? It started earlier than 1 Sept of 39 if you were one of the countries sacrificed as an appeasement to Hitler. Remember that as you pontificate as if Britain's entry marks the real kickoff of events. For someone from one of the countries that fell in the earlier years they might find a chuckle from your comment.
As to the thread, no I am not sensitive. I simply dislike hypocrisy masquerading as dry humor.
