Americans wanted no part of either WWI or WWII. Wilson put us in WWI and WWII was already several years old by the time we entered after Pearl. Duh. Of course we were willing to enter once attacked.
You see to have taken a lot of revisionist history courses. Did FDR somehow secretly have the US officially enter WWII BEFORE the attack on Pearl Harbor? Your commentary on American wars is very dubious to say the least.

Well he was sending weapons to Britain secretly despite the official cover of neutrality.
It sure seems like it, they are itching so hard to start WW3 with Russia. I'm so glad Clinton didnt win for this very reason. Democrats continue revealing their true colors!
Your opinion duly noted but if you want to take it further than your opinion you will have to back it up with some credible facts.

Wasn't there some silly treaty in effect?

IF you want to include JFK, WHY don't you have the honesty to admit he merely continued the advisors program started by Eisenhower? Granted LBJ was the first to send comba troops but Nixon sure as hell wasn't in any rush to end that war before lamely attempting to have it benefit his reelection campaign.
BTW, NICE job of ignoring wars like Iraq and Afghanistan, both like Korea in having no formal Congressional Declarations of War. I guess you couldn't make up anything believable to blame them on Democrats, eh?
That still was not our Vietnam war, and had Democrats Wilson and Truman dealt with HCM earlier rather than ignoring and rejecting him, Ike would not have had to assist the French.
We had/have no business doing any of it. It doesn't work.

Yeah let's use Pearl Harbor as a way to snack democrats around for starting wars.
