Remember that in that war the French were among the first to declare war, while the Americans were against it.

Do not fool yourself into thinking that your country went to war for Jews, gypsies and other ‘untermensch.’

Yea and the same apologists, peacnicks, and hitler lovers who kept america out of ww2 for so long despite roosevelt's wishes to join the fighting are well represented and survived by the war protestors we see today.

Sorry leftist BS artist, you wont have that both ways...

Forgive our ancestors. They foolishly assumed that after WWI, Europeans had learned their lesson and could manage their own affairs responsibly.

Maybe they were waiting for a UN resolution.

Same thing in the Yugoslav civil war...

Here is a particulary good quote from the article...

"In 1993, Alija Izetbegovich, then the beleaguered president of Bosnia-Herzegovina, explained his feelings to me in the starkest possible manner: "Only the Americans could save us from annihilation. If they do not come, there will soon be no Muslims left in the former Yugoslavia. The Europeans will debate until we are all dead."

Yes, there are a lot of protestors. Too bad they don't take their own advice and rely on dialogues for 12-years before running out destroying property, disrupting government operations and the lives of local citizens (who may or may not be pro-war.)

It's a sad fact of life on this planet, but sometimes force is necessary no matter how hard you close your eyes and wish it away.

Dowding,

In this country, there were a lot of protestors against entering the First World War.

And looking back now 80-years later, I don't think it was worth it. I don't really care now what language the French speak and maybe Germany wouldn't have been punished to the extent that the rantings of a mad-man were sane to them.
