Just to keep the record straight: my idea of ideological and
psychological incapability, as well as an indication of an
unwillingness to know, is derived from statements like: I won't read
so-and-so's "skewed" account of history, when actually reading so-and-
so's work would reveal that it's very well supported. A continuation
of this mindset is constant reference to other ranters-who-don't-
read, resulting in a hopeless downward spiral of ignorance about
their so-call subject. It's a shame, because actually reading and
quoting so-and-so directly would allow a much more useful discussion.
Msh To DavidR, I Think:
True, the US claimed isolationism in the public arena. This does not
refute the fact that, behind the scenes, business and policy makers
thought the Fascists had some pretty nifty ideas. This is well
explored and supported in the book MarkM is reading, "Deterring
Democracy."
Anyway, as someone else has mentioned, Leland I think, the US didn't
get directly involved in the war until the attack of one of its
colonies in the Pacific. Even then, GERMANY declared war on the US
first.
Best to all,
Mark Steven Heyman (msh)
