FDR wanted to enter WWII, but the American people would not permit it. The general feeling was that it was not our fight. Those were the days when we had real power. The Japanese did FDR a favor, in effect, when they bombed Pearl Harbor, because that action caused average Americans to become PO'd. FDR immediately declared war on Japan. After we declared war on Japan, Hitler declared war on us.

Wrong. IMO, the United States had no such strategic doctrine. That was the British, not the United States, who wouldn't let any one European power to dominate in Europe. Till the First World War, there was not a significant presence of U.S. military in Europe - and they left, to return only with the Second World WAr. re: "Sure we did (the U.S.) Long standing strategic doctrine, not to allow any one European power to dominate Europe. Would have made zero difference if that dominating power was Britain, Italy, France, or Nazi Germany." Prove it!
