We should have intervened immediately when Hitler attacked another country. Millions would have been saved had we acted as one then. I have made this point over and over again. The easy moral line to draw is to defend against aggressive nations when they attack outside their borders. It makes more sense, and saves us from getting into the hopeless quagmires of civil wars.

I grant you my foreign policy wouldn't save everyone- but if you backtest it I think you will find my policy would have saved Europe from the ravages of Hitler, and would have spared us Vietnam.

<<Do you then think that the US should not have been involved in the fight against Nazi
Germany? >>

This is an absolutely different situation. Cannot be even compared. Besides, by the time US troops have landed in Normandy, Germans were almost done for. Russian tanks where standing on their borders.
Those tanks where another concern for US at the time, but thats another story.
