The U.S. couldn't remain neutral in World War II because Germany declared war on us after their allies bombed us.

Prior to that the U.S. was rightfully neutral, much like we should have been in World War I.

Acctualy, before we were bombed we gave supplies only to Britain and France, we would not have given Germany anything because of an act passed in congress. This violates international law for neutral countries. We even shot down a few German U-Boats. We were not fighting only because Germany couldn't afford it so they didn't openly attack us outside of some British supply routes (the U.S. Navy guarded these routes, hence the U-Boats being shot down).

I'm curious on your opinion on how the US should not have been involved in World War I. I would love to hear it, though this may be wandering off topic a little.

All in all, I can't wait until we have a worth while president to vote for again. Kerry was no shining star, most would only argue that he was the lesser of two evils.

Lol, the grammar attack is just about as valid as your attack on him for not having anyone marked as friends in the community.

Sorry I wasn't specific. I meant neutral militarily, in that we didn't enter combat against them directly. I have absolutely no problems (and neither did Adams) with supporting allies in ways other than direct military intervention in a foreign country.

"World War I" wasn't a world war. It was a European squabble that turned into a horrifying bloodbath, and the American involvement therein was only due to our provocations towards Germany.. Now, this is with hindsight googles squarely on, but without the U.S.' entrance into World War I, Germany would have ruled Europe and probably made peace with the United States (an attack would have been extremely foolish and unlikely) with far less casualties all around, with the added bonus of World War II never happening.
