As horrible as the the whole thing was, I think you have to recognize there was a tremendous amount of good that came out of it. Beyond saving more lives than they killed I think the sobering effect it had on the world leaders of the time probably served..and still serves as a reminder that we are all human. And I believe that has saved more lives in the past 60 years than any other single action in the history of the world. No way to prove it of course, but then again thats sort of the idea....
PS - Kwaad your stats are WAY off. Just think about how prepostrous what you said was. Germany was involved in the war in Sept '39 when they invaded Poland. The US didn't get involved for another 26 months in Dec of '41 as you I'm sure are aware. Aside from all of that I am unaware of any data that attributes kills to a given country. Instead the data is organized by country suffering the loss. So your position seems made up to me, of course if you have sources for this information I would be happy to retract that statement.
Edit: wow this thread is way off topic
