Sorry about that. I had a feeling it was WWI. Needless to say, I am not a history buff.
Anyways, you do bring up a good point. In the case of WWII, of course I would support action against the Axis -- even without being directly attacked. However, the only way I could justify this action would be due to the threat that the Axis would have posed to myself and my family. I don't exactly support pre-emptive war, but I also recognize that if you wait too long, it may be too late.
I think America entered the war at just the right time (not considering that we were attacked by Japan and Germany declared war on us) -- any later may have been too late. Although, I don't think anyone could have conquered Russia. So, world domination was pretty much out of the question for Germany and/or the Axis powers.
