<The USA did not get pulled into WWII until we had no choice>

...when we refused to prevent war's root causes decades earlier. If you punish a whole people for the sins of a ruler (or fail to address workers or human rights) it tends to have the effect of producing demagogues like Hitlers and religious oligarchs. Occasionally we even install our our guy in there like the Shah, or fight the one we tolerate because of misplaced and juvenile sentiments that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

We will regret the years of animosity we've help built within various Muslim populaces.
