I think we can assume that all the countries are supplying what they can. It is not 'Europe' that is participating, it is different countries, each about the size of one or two states, expect for the really small ones.

Can we stop whining and accusing each other about how much we put in, and get back to what the whole round of conflicts is about?


As for WW2......if the USA hadn't of came in and answered your pleas for help...you more than likely would be speaking German today instead of English. [/QUOTE]

Well yes, the war was well under way without US participation until Pearl Harbour was bombed. But you may be right about the outcome.

However, I thought this thread was about the uprisings in North Africa?
