I assume no such thing Alan. I actually explicitly said that to take 5% of their population would cost too many US dead.

I accept that you have very strongly held beliefs. I have equally strongly held, diametrically opposed ones, and neither of us will convince the other, so there's no point arguing.

The one point I would still like to make is that you (perhaps accidentally) misrepresented my argument to strengthen yours - that is unfortunate and reflects badly on you.
