Thank God the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and forced the Americans into the war but let's assume that Japan did not and America had stayed out. Hitler would have developed the nuclear bomb first. Would we now have Germany uber Alles?

That is a poor analogy. Germany was infinitely more powerful than Iraq. And, Germany was far more expansionist than Iraq. Merely stopping arms sales to Iraq for the past decade has crippled his military force. A better analogy would be WWI, where Jews played a big role in dragging us into a dispute that was not our concern. WWI did not have a clear bad guy. WWII did.
