Re: *SHRUG* said by jjeffeory:Heaven forbid we care about something that's going on in the WORLD. You know, being aware of something that could come bite you in the a**... Kind of like, WWII... And I'm sure WE didn't do anything in WW2 unless you're approaching 100... Historically, WW2 only affected us because Japan decided to go for Pearl Harbor. That's it. We were happy to do economic deals with the Nazis and the Italian Fascists - read up on FDR's admiration for Mussolini sometime. They weren't doing anything in what we consider our backyard - the Americas. Nor were we interested in what the Japanese were doing before they decided our Pacific territories were tasty. So long as we were left alone, Japan and their allies could do whatever the hell they wanted.
Why should it be any different now? Defend the Americas and let all else go hang; so long as they don't come looking for a fight, I don't see why we should go picking one. |
