Going to war sooner, would obviously have been better for the allies, but it would also have angered most Americans. I imagine if FDR had lead us to war with the rest of Europe, before Japan attacked, Wendell Willkie had won in the 1940 election. That probably would not have turned out so bad, actually. The only problem might have been that the war in Europe would have ended wa-aay before the atomic bomb was ready, so the Pacific war could have been bloodier than otherwise. Overall, I think hindsight shows us that the best that could have possibley occured in World War II, considering the circumstances, happened in order to make the United States a superpower afterward, according to God's big-picture plan. | | 2.
