Yes, from so many perspectives. Both the aspirations and ideals of Naziism would have left a dark, dark world had we not intervened. It's possible downplay how pernicious the Third Reich was because some aspects of it were found in some forms in other governments all over the world, but it was unparalleled in both degree and scale. Whether or not we would have intervened, we were due for a conflict with the Axis powers at some point - and I'm glad that we struck them at a time when they were fighting on other fronts. There's no doubt in my mind...The conflict in Asia was secondary, but I think that was the right thing as well, mainly because of Pearl Harbor It's argued on this page that we could have prevented Maoism, but we don't know what would have happened with an imperialist Japan in charge. Today's Japan is one that we helped build. [[User:KingHanksley|KingHanksley]] 23:08, 8 May 2011 (EDT) | Yes, from so many perspectives.
