Most people understand that the United States entered the second War World to help restore peace and order on the Earth. While the facts point to Germany becoming overly powerful and threatening the safety of our nation as well as all other nations as well, know that during this time the United States was still in Depression during the beginning of the war. We did not really have the money to go to war, and as the Germans and their allies poked and prodded the U.S. we remained out of the conflict until President Roosevelt (and eventually Truman) saw a different outcome of the war, which is war production yielding wealth and escape from our Depression. Whether this was conscientiously or not does not matter because the war, although extremely bloody and long drawn out, the war did boost the U.S. from its Depression back into the thriving market it was before the Crash.
This resembles the War in Iraq. There was a big conflict between a few countries, and let me say that this conflict was nothing new, it had been going on. The U.S. stayed out of it while we handled our own problems for a little while but as soon as a president saw some money in the conflict, the U.S. stuck its nose in to try and delegate. This turned out to be very costly. Iraq sent the kamikaze rouges and destroyed some very famous structures in our nation. Pre-was our market was dropping some and some said it could possibly lead to another crash. Without support Bush sent troops over and now instead of the war machine making out nation money, gas prices have sky rocketed which has damaged our market quite heavily, and well as the astronomical growth in our nation's debt. If the war had been short and less costly it may have been beneficial to the U.S. and our market, but the facts stand that it has gone on long enough. No good has come of the drawn out war. The country shouldn't exist right now and their oil should have already been claimed as the U.S.'s rightful resource.
