"Oh, no. You're very wrong. Roosevelt deliberately destroyed the US Fleet at Pearl Harbor so Americans would be willing to believe him when he said Germany must be defeated.

LMFAO. I would love to have discussion with you about both of the roosevelts. I love the progressive era history and the WWII history of course. I also love WWI history as well. Any way you can make a WWII topic on this site and get a good conversation going about it?
