Post Your Thoughts
yes...
They Attacked us, what more is there?
Yes, even if they hadn't attacked us we had a moral responsibility to enter WWII. If America hadn't taken a stand against Hitler how much more damage would he have done?
Hitler and the Japanese were on their way to winning WWII till we joined. If we didn't join, Hitler probably would have had complete control of europe, and the japanese would have had the pacific, and we would have been the next target. we already were attacked at pearl harbor so that kind of forced us, but even if we were not we still should have joined.
Tim
Yes, It's obvious that Hitler was an evil man. As christians we were justified to fight him in world war two. When America came into the war Britain was about to be destroyed by Germany. If America hadn't come in when it did, they would've been destroyed(I think we should've helped Britain with soldiers alot sooner, just goes to show how indecisive a democracy can be). On Japanese front I think they attacked us and we were justified to defend ourselves. Overall I think this is a silly debate because nobody will ever take the negative side.
Double Edge
Yes,
It was a necessity! At this moment we could be speaking German and not be celebrating Christmas the Christian way! Hilter was a madman hated even by his closest generals and field marshals. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel once attempted to assasinate the Fuher in his HQ in central Germany. Thats how bad the man was. It was a good thing we entered the war.
PJ Just because Hitler was evil, does not mean that the United States had the moral authority to go to war. What are the conditions for a just war, and do they apply?
Reply: Actually, the United States did have the moral authority to go to war because Hitler was evil, even if Japan hadn't spurred us to do so first. If it is not morally right to oppose evil, then I don't know what is. As for your question, the conditions for a just war could range from protecting your country or protecting an oppressed country or opposing a country that has committed an act that is universally accepted as bad (ex. the Holocaust). --David R 21:57, 9 February 2007 (EST)
- Yes we should have gone into World War II. Even when we didn't know what Hitler was really doing to the Jewish people at the time. We should have gone to help our allies out in the War so that they would be able to return the favor to us if we ever need to have to be saved by an enemy.
