>>>My history books say we stood out of it until it came to us, ex. Pearl Harbor<<<

Not exactly. Roosevelt couldn't override the conservatives in Congress, some of whom were quite sympathetic to Hitler. Read up on the American Bund sometime, and American attitudes toward Jews in the 1930's...

In any event, the administration placed us in the war by supplying the allies with weapons and materiel. Roosevelt and the administration did indeed look ahead, even cheating on the constraints imposed in many ways including putting a covert air force in China and possibly egging Japan into it's act to some extent so as to have a way to get past congress.

Thankfully.
