We initially stayed out of WWII in the hopes that a madman would stop after invading Poland. We in the US wanted to stay out of the war and maintained an isolationist position. We showed ourselves to be weak. Then Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and awakened the “Sleeping Giant”. Imagine if things had been different and we stopped the madman before he was able to spread the war around the globe. How many more lives would have been saved if we had the guts to intervene sooner rather than later? When will we learn the lessons history has taught us?
