Why didn't Roosevelt ask Mussolini to join the Alliance in, say 1943. (a) President Roosevelt's grandparents were from Holland (the surname literally translates, "Field of Roses"), he said many unequivocal big-mouth things about this thing called unconditional surrender as the Dutch are wont to do, and so he had to live up to those words he thusly spake aloud <;-)>; (b) Benito Mussolini and his nation were officially declared Fascists and allies of Nazi Germany on whom the United States and its Allies formally declared war and of which were demanded unconditional surrender; (c) Italian forces controlled by Il Duce attacked France in cowardly fashion after that nation had nearly been overrun by Germany (and still they were routed); (d) German forces occupied the capital, Rome and other strategic points in Italy when that nation had courageously overthrown its government and welcomed the Allies. As for your final question, when the United States realized the true stakes of the conflict, it did not kowtow to evil forces then; certainly now, I expect no less. The nation has a history to uphold, not only for present generations, but especially those to come in future, to whom we strive to present a world intact, I would venture better than the one we inherited. That is our duty and the hope for always a happy today and also an even better tomorrow that makes life what it can and should be.
