2. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour makes it, to say the least, very difficult to argue that we should not have enter World War II, whether or not any Americans knew of the attack beforehand. 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.

3. ''Which of the approaches in American history towards immigration do you like best, and why?''  

3. I liked it best back in the good ol' days. Before 1850, when immigration was practically unrestricted, the American spirit seemes to have churned with life. Some say that immigrants flooding the job market, but if they become citizens they will (hopefully) pay taxes, (hopefully) go to school, and (hopefully) ''create'' new jobs, causing the country to thrive. I think immigration ultimately helps the country, and the more you hinder people from coming in, the more illegal immigrants there will be.

 

Then again, simply because these policies worked back then doesn't mean they'll work now. Is this my favorite appproach to immigration, or perhaps just the best period for immigrants in U.S. history?

4. "Keep Cool with Coolidge." That was the campaign slogan he used. I like everything about the Cooldige administration. He made choices confidently and desicively, and good, conservative choices at that.  "Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding." (Proverbs 17:28)

5. ''What is your view of the New Deal, and what might you have done differently in response to the Great Depression?''

6. Yes, we definitely should have dropped the atomic bombs on Japan. While some sorces believe that Japan was going to surrender anyway, whether or not we had bombed them, I don't think they would have. We see in Okinawa the Japanese never backed down and they certainly weren't going to give up their own homes, no matter what they said.
