Coburn, you do realize it was the GOP that kept us from getting involved earlier, right?

Actually, that is not at all a fair assessment.  There were many Democrat isolationist, and the GOP eventually ended up running an internationalist candidate (Willkie) against FDR.

True, but let's not forget a fellow named William Borah.

And let's not forget a fellow named John Nance Garner, either.  We can play this game all day.

Garner was Vice President by 1938; hardly as important as Borah.

Regardless of what anyone says, there is no way that the Treaty of Versailles or the League of Nations prevents another global war, regardless of U.S. involvement.  People who argue that are both ignoring that facts, and ridiculously idealistic.  The West had no interest in moving out of its decadence in the 1930's.  Period.  End of story.
