Look, I have total respect for FDR. But for the moment I'll side-step this complete red herring and point out that it was precisely after WWII that most of the world (<i>including</i> the USA, or should I say <i>particularly</i>?) decided that fighting each other was not the best way to go about sorting out our differences.
Oh, and while we're thanking each other, you could start by thanking those pesky French for your constitution.

There is a fine line, and I recommend that protestors respect that. They're able to voice their dissent because better men have sacrificed themselves for the good of the world.
