Actually overwhelming force didn't end it; but of coarse you continue to show your ignorance toward history. Brilliance, valour, and a hint of luck won WWII. It would probably serve you quite well to know that we almost lost WWII, on both fronts. Also it would also help to know that I said in the most extreme circumstances, intervention can be a good thing. But then of coarse you don't actually read my posts, you just cherry pick.

Of coarse not to say WWII was intervention; because by all means it wasn't. War was declared upon us. We didn't intervene. I think the point I'm trying to reach is that strength can win wars and battles, but it will never bring peace in the long run. According to your philosophy, we should have used our military strength to "intervene" in the Soviet Union. Because you know war is peace.

Oh, but of coarse, I guess Eisenhower, the Superme Allied Commander in Europe, is a "poor naive thing". And Alias is the all-knowing wise man of this world.
