>>>Actually, we kicked them out because they took over the island and we didn't want them gaining more footholds in the Pacific. We fought them in many places where the US didn't have a presence, like New Guinea, Iwo Jima, etc.

lol! the foreign policy of the US in simple phrase, lol again. butting their heads in other people's affairs. who invited them?

and jdylan a little history for you, your country invaded the phils. during the US-Spanish war without provocation from us. we just happen to be under Spain at that time.the japanese in turn invaded us because of your presence in my country.
