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 (including the USA, or should I say particularly?) decided that fighting each other was not the best way to go about sorting out our differences.

I know this is unrelated to the discussion, but I believe this shift in thinking occured after WWI. That's why Germany was able to get away with so much without the other countries doing anything. They had seen the horrors of modern warfare for the first time and didn't want to repeat them.
