Remember the Monroe Doctorine. its for this reason that the US didnt
get involved. If Germany would have invaded a country in the western
hemisphere that would have been a differnet matter. Let Europe worry
about Europe was the motto of the day, for it was a foreign war.
But when we were attacked it no longer became a foreign war.
P.S. there was no western world or eastern world, only western
hemisphere(new world) and eastern hemisphere(old world). West and

east
didnt come into play until the cold war. And the US wanted to keep

the
war, and Europe out of the New World, therefore we didnt step in
theirs.


I'm not sure if this is an argument, or an agreement that France

(now)
acted very much like the U.S. (then). It sure seems to back up what I

said
before. Thanks for the details. Cheers,

Tony


Yet the US seems to have learned the lesson while France seems to have
adopted appeasement and isolationism as a religion.
