In todays world by Feb 1942 democrats would be calling for a retreat, saying we cannot win.

By Feb 1942 most Republicans were hoping very much that people would forget that they had been staunch isolationists, and thus partially responsible for the fact that America was so ill-prepared for the war. They did, however, expend a great deal of energy accusing Roosevelt of "getting us into the war."

I cannot recall a single instance of the WWII Allies going into a country to destroy its civil and military command and control capabilities with an inadequate occupation force, or executing a strategy specifically designed to bring the Nazis (or Facists or Japanese) in so we could fight them there.

The whole idea of comparing WWII and the war in Iraq is ludicrous. WWII was nation against nation.

In Iraq, we invaded a nation because we were attacked by a gang from what we consider to be the same hood. (What the hell, Saudis, Iraqis, hell they is all A-rabs. I never can tell them aparts no way anyhow)
