Right. World War II was optional, the US could have sat it out. I bet you believe in the Easter Bunny too.

You miss my point - by a wide margin too.
But I will say this though: we definitely could have sat out the FIRST World War.

If FDR had done the right things from 1933-1940, WWII need never have unfolded the way it did.
He only seems to have started to really care about what was going on when his precious Soviet Union was threatened.

His point wasn't that WWII was optional - that's another debate, the issue is that Roosevelt campaigned for a third term, breaking precedent, on the premise of being the only one able to keep us out of the war.
