Although I appreciate you sentiments, the reasons we went to war against the Nazi onslaught had very little to do with specifically, liberating France. That was just one of the positive consequences.

It was never my intent to imply such a thing.  I merely said:

I'm wondering if the French would now have preferred that we hadn't rid them and the rest of the world of the threat of Nazism?

This question refers to the effect, not the cause of our involvement.

I'll read more carefully next time. Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm sure Chirac and Villepain (sp?) would rather we had not liberated France. Their fathers would have stayed instead of fleeing to the homeland.
