Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour; this forced the US into the Asian war. A few days later Hitler declared war on the US. This forced the US into the European part of World War II. Launching of the war was not done by Roosevelt but by the Japanese high command and Hitler. Or do you think Roosevelt should have ignored Hitler's declaration of war and not asked congress to respond to it?
And do you think the attack of North Korea on South Korea was masterminded in Truman's White House?
Lindberg was a man noted for his Nazi sympathies. His wife wrote a book, the Wave of the Future, extolling Fascism. To put it mildly, Lindberg was not universally popular in the US.

I forgot:
(a) The degree to which many US citizens devalue everything that doesn't affect them. To more objective students of history, US losses in the last century were trifling compared with those suffered by humanity as a whole. I've never met or read anyone who thinks that WW1 & WW2 were started by "the left".
(b) That to US right wingers, Kennedy and Johnston were "lefties".

I'm getting the hang of how to read your posts.
