We were not late. There was simply no support for you among our population from the man on the street to the highest levels of government.

While many of our "founding fathers" were of English descent the bulk of our population has always been Scottish, Irish and about 1/3 German. We are not part of your commonwealth and not obligated to support your bad decisions.

If Roosevelt had not been such an anglophile from his dalliances during WW1 we would have never entered. They must have provided him with one hot chick during WW1 because he was never the same!

He remained in constant fear of impeachment from office for sneaking help to the British between 1939-1941.

As it was our population declared war on Japan in response to attack and did not intend to declare on Germany.

Nearly a week after the Japanese attack Hitler declared war on the U.S. and Roosevelt was so delighted he probably peed his pants.

His instant response was to forget about Japan and start planning help for the UK and our Congress had to constantly remind him that Japan was our primary foe.

And no, we do not feel we won the war alone. More Soviet troops died at Stalingrad than all the allied troops during the entire war. And there were all the thousands of Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, South African and Indian troops that gave their lives.

And just think, if you had any balls you could have stopped it all in 1937, probably with minimal bloodshed.
