    Default If there was no Pearl Harbor

    And we were never attacked in any way in the '40's: would you have supported military intervention in Europe?

    yes. Especially if it was known what was occurring in the concentration camps.

    That's basically what we did, we waited until a puppet of Hitler invaded us.

    Yeah, I was trying to decipher that, as well. Pretty desh-like.

    G-word doesn't think that gassing 200 people is a "massacre," though; it's more along the lines of the gov't handing out a few foreclosures or something.

    What are you rambling about?

    If you don't wish to address the OP, that is your choice, but to come on here in and start whining because he dared ask a question that involves critical thought (which obviously scares you) is quite sad.

    Americans at the time would not have supported intervention .. and the war machine knew it .. just as they know Americans would not be supporting our mindless 'war on terror' without 9/11.

    The formula is simple.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    I think they would have had they known about the concentration camps. Otherwise I would agree with you. They wanted no part of WWII. It was only after Pearl that FDR was able to gain public support for entering the war (officially)

    Oh but I did address the OP. You just don't like it. Because Assad as Hitler is ludicrous, but it's what alllll the war mongers are parroting this week. They say politics makes strange bedfellows. But that's nothing compared to the bedfellows war makes.

    Desh started the "NEVER AGAIN!" Holocaust comparisons yesterday, Onceler is picking them up today (though attempting to keep deniability) and you and Onceler have become great war buddies. Desh, Onceler, and Superfreak.

    Dude I never thought I'd see it, but I have to tell you, it gives me hope for humanity. Can an Israeli/ Palestinian partnership be far off?

    When you quote something, try actually quoting it. That makes it easier to know what you are referring to. Because your response did not make sense based on what you quoted.
