And do you think the United States would have won against Hitler with a 'resolution' instead of a declaration of war?
Besides, most Americans at that time didn't want to go to war against Hitler and that was the basis of FDR's campaign, that they wouldn't send their sons to fight again in Europe.
Had Hitler not declared war on the U.S. first, FDR would have been hard pressed to convince Congress to get a declaration against Hitler.
It was probably Hitler's second greatest blunder, next to invading the Soviet Union.
Would Ron Paul ask for an declaration of war against Hitler or would he say that it’s not our neighborhood and none of our business?
