Cut to 1941. There were already wars in the Far East and in Europe. Mass murders were already going on. Yet there was a large and active organization called "America First," which sought to keep the US from getting involved in World War II.
Their anti-war message then could be summarized in the question, "What has Hitler done to us?"
It was only after the war that the full story of Hitler's homicidal mania came out. That make it clear that the war against Hitler was the proper business of every moral human, and every civilized government. "America First" at the time contained both genuine passivists who were merely deluded, plus a small number of pro-Hitler operatives who were hiding behind the mantel of passivism.
In short, "America First," was quite similar to A.N.S.W.E.R. is today, circles of dupes surrounding a center of apologists for mass murder. Sarandon would know all this if she'd ever read a book about the years leading into World War II.
So the answer to Sarandon is, "Read a book, you dumb broad!" And with it is a question, "When this war is over, the mass graves are opened, and the truth is out, will you run a new commercial saying -- 'I was wrong and stupid. I apologize to the people of the United States, and to the President.'?"
I doubt it. Her stupidity is wall-to-wall and end-to-end. An honest apology is more than she could muster. Let's just call her Susan ("Baghdad broad") Sarandon from now on.
