re:"we went to war against Japan. Hitler declared war on us."

Wrong. The United States and Germany were at war well before Hitler made it Official by declaring war.

The United States Occupied Iceland (a Norweigan dependency) and Greenland (Denmark), after Germany's invasion of those countries - but before Declaration of War. One of the pilots of the "British" PBY Catalina that searched for, and found the Bismark, was an active duty U.S. Navy pilot-he was there to train the rest of the crew on the lend-lease plane. I suppose that the US Navy was merely patrolling North Atlantic convoys, during the summer of 1941, for the fun of it.

American flagged ships attacked and/or sunk before Germany's declaration of war against the United States:
U.S. freighter Robin Moor, sunk May 1941
U.S.-Panamanian freighter Sessa, sunk August 1941
U.S. freighter Steel Seafarer, sunk September 1941
U.S. freighter Montana, sunk September 1941
U.S. Navy Destroyer Greer attacked September 1941
U.S.-Panamanian freighter Pink Star sunk September 1941
U.S.-Panamanian tanker I.C. White sunk September 1941
U.S. tanker Teagle sunk October 1941
U.S.-Panamanian tanker Bold Venture sunk October 1941
U.S. Navy Destroyer Kearny torpedoed October 1941
U.S. freighter Lehigh sunk October 1941
U.S.-Panamanian tanker Salinas attacked October 1941
U.S. Navy Destroyer Reuben James sunk October 1941

BTW, the Clinton Administration used U.S. troops to install the current President of Haiti. The Clinton Administration used U.S. troops preemptively in Kosovo. The Clinton Administration passed a law making the removal of Saddam Hussein the official policy of the United States Government? Were those actions in your opinion wrong?

Clearly you believe that the U.S. invasion of Iraq and removal of Saddam was wrong. Do you also believe that Vietnam was wrong invading Cambodia and removing Pol Pot? Do you believe that it was wrong for Tanzania to invade Uganda and remove Idi Amin?

re:"Your unwillingness to see any fault in the neo-con party woulda made you a perfect candidate for Hitler's Nazi party. Loyalty no matter what."

Do you usually throw out insults and lies when you are losing an argument? You think I'm conservative? Maybe from your perspective. Frankly much the Democratic Party has moved so far to the left, that they consider Tammy Bruce a right winger.
