So, based on this quote alone, we should all agree that this would apply under Franklin D. Roosevelt's term? correct?
Good point, but we did go after those who attacked us during World War II and weren't consistantly lied too.![]()
The Germans did not attack us during WWII. And how do you know Roosevelt didn't stretch the truth to get his way?
Where did I say the germans attacked us? From our lovely public education I have knowledge that FDR didnt stretch the truth, he did want us to interviene. You could discuss about the Japanesse mini-sub and the radar system and how it was ignored... its still just a theory and hasn't been proven.
My point is that we attacked the Germans without provication. Roosevelt made people believe that we needed to send millions of men to battle in Europe when Germany was not threatening us. This is the same as what you currently believe is happening in Iraq.
Well, Japan did attack you. Japan and Germany were allies. They were sinking your supplieships on their way to britain. Besides Germany was a major threat to england, and would undoubtedly have taken over england if it hadn't been for US military support. Britain and you weren't allies (The british and french went to war against germany because they attacked poland, which germany and france were allies with) but you had a close relationship. The fact is that Roosevelt waited to assist the british, and withheld the declaration of war for a long time, untill you actually got attacked, because he felt he needed a more direct reason. But the major reason was the fascist dictatorship Hitler had aquired through democratic power, and the fact he was using it to invade most of the western world.
So rosevelt actually had a reason for this war, and saw that germany actually was a threat. Because they showed no lust for ending the campaign. Besides, it is well known that Germany from day 1 of hitlers reign tried hard to gain wmd. That's why so many scientists left germany for usa, and probably (undoubtedly actually) why you had the. Bomb before the russians.
