And of course I should have replied "To have a dirty *nuclear* bomb", my bad. But to be fair, I am man enough to try to see Ian's point. Let's see if I can follow his logic. The reason the the US was in Europe wasn't to save jolly old England, it was to stop Hitler flying a few hundred Kilos of medical waste across the Atlantic in a plane that didn't exist to explode it over New York, whereupon the US would cease to make war on him.
