Ya know, I've always wondered why Hitler declared war on us. We never
did anything to him. He was fighting the Godless Communists, and a
significant minority of Americans were anti-Semitic... The usual reason
is that we declared war on Japan. Well, heck. He ignored treaties
before. Why not ignore the Axis Treaty? It would have kept us out of
the war long enough to starve England. Then he could have easily
conquored it.
But, of course, he was insane. Otherwise, why invade Russia?
