So the United States allegedly saved us from being overrun by the Nazi's (prior to 1941 Britain did too)
Does this mean that the United States, Britain o even Ireland should be above criticisim ?
Every country in the World has its good points and bad points. There are a lot of positive things about the US but one of these things is the first amendment and the right to criticise Countries (including their own) as people see fit.
Incidently if US Industrialists hadnt given financial aid to the Nazi's before and after they came to power and in some cases even supplied them with military equipment and materials the second world war may never have happened but thats another story.
