US entry into ww2

... This would be one of those few things I really don't have a problem with. Can't imagine how anyone would.

I think you're being a bit results oriented. I certainly think it's up for debate whether or not it was a prudent decision to enter WW2 at the time. Looking back from 65 years in the future it's too easy to question or agree with decisions made back then.

I have no idea how this could possibly be up for debate.

Our country was supposed to be a neutral nation. The people did not want anything to do with this war. It is well documented that we were not neutral towards Japan. We cut them off from our oil and other resources. It is debatable whether or not this was right or wrong, because it directly led to the Japanese trying to attack.

So what? [censored] the Japanese, I'd rahter have just gone straight at them and Hitler.

Well, he did put the country at risk and lied about the US's declared neutrality. If you don't care about that then that's your prerogative. I am only saying that there is some room for debate.
