Please show me where I "claim" that.
I said, quoted above, that I wondered what the German and Japanese
people thought of it.
> Japan attacked us first
After being goaded into it by an administration which, by applying
every socialist fad of its day, prevented the American economy from
coming out of a depression _caused_ by government intervention in the
first place.
They had one more fad to try, and by doing so proved it wrong too,
that "war is good for the economy". The result only was to prove the
axiom that "war is the health of the state". The economy did not even
start to recover until the postwar stand-down and repeal of many of
the depression-causing socialist programs.
> and then Germany declared war on us.
Yep. The only treaty that Hitler didn't break. One is left scratching
one's head wondering "why?"
