Reply #13: Hitler could not be negotiated with, he was insane. But Hitler [View All]

[brazos121200]

did not attack the US, Japan did, and much has been written on FDR's planned efforts to goad Japan into attacking the US using his "7 provocations" so he could do battle with Germany, his "back door to war". I will not fault FDR's desire to join Britain and Russia in fighting to halt the Nazis, but scheming to get us into the war was less than noble. Roosevelt had been the US President since 1933 but did next to nothing, along with Britain, France and Russia to halt the Nazis through sanctions, blockades etc. until it was too late.
