gibbogle, it would have certainly been a better world for the hundreds of thousands of innocent Americans who died fighting in a war that from which they should have been protected by distance and lack of cause. America First, which represented a large majority of the American people and which had a strong majority in both houses of congress demanded peace and American un-involvement in foreign war and so ordered the president and New Deal officials to keep the peace. FDR and his henchmen, illegally using every subterfuge defied congress and the American people made war anyway. The idea that we were "making the world safe for democracy" was all claptrap in that our only substantial wartime ally was the most evil dictatorship of all, the USSR. By 1950 five times as many people were suffering under murderous dictatorships than at the time of Pearl Harbour.
