29. Well we did the right thing just as soon as it was politically viable for Roosevelt
Edited on Sun Oct-11-09 04:05 PM by Hippo_Tron
And to a certain extent we wound up doing what was in our best interest because of that. Harry Truman put it quite bluntly when a few months before America's entry to the war he said that the best thing we can do is sit by and let the Russians and the Germans kill each other for a while. Doing so probably saved a lot of American lives. Doesn't mean it was the right thing to do but it was certainly a reflection of the popular will.
