If 45 million dead is any victory, it sure seems of the Pyrrhic variety.

 >>>Baker argues that fighting WWII militarily was counterproductive
and 
exactly the wrong thing to do.

So he agrees with Pat Buchanan, author of  _Churchill, Hitler, and "The 
Unnecessary War: How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World_,

I agree with Paul. Woulda-coulda-shoulda is a chump's game.  Sorta like: 
how would Manius Aquillius have fared if he had neutron howitzers and 
cyborg warriors while fighting Mithridates VI of Pontus at Protostachium?
