Amazingly enough, you have made my point for me.
Had we done something to stop Hitler (or Hirohito for that matter) in
1939, instead of waiting for Pearl Habor over three years later, we
could have saved 40,000,000 dead. But no, public opinion was too strong
against it. Thank God the Japanese were stupid enough to attack PH.

Why don't you do something useful; list the names of the 40M who died
because American's didn't want to get involved in a distant war. Better
get started; it will take a while.


40,000,000 dead in WWII? Figures I find show about 60-65 million
casualties, which means far fewer deaths. In any case, it was far too
many.

I expect you are right; I just answered off the top of my head. But of
course that just makes it even more striking.
