I agree with Ron completely - I think the US would have bypassed that route. Hell, didn't we originally want to bypass North Africa and/or Italy, but Churchill convinced us otherwise?

Seems that most of the commonwealth in Asia was busy fighting the Japanese in or around their own backyards and the Brits. were pretty busy in Europe themselves. You folks would've been abandoned for quite a while.

Brings up an interesting idea - The Austrailian / New Zeland resistance!!!!! I bet the really would've whupped some Jap butt!!!!!
