Winston Churchill: America should have stayed home

[zengrifter]

"America should have minded her own business and stayed out of the World War. If you hadn't entered the war the Allies would have made peace with Germany in the spring of 1917. Had we made peace then there would have been no collapse in Russia followed by Communism, no breakdown in Italy followed by Fascism, and Germany would not have signed the Versailles Treaty, which has enthroned Nazism in Germany. If America had stayed out of the war, all of these 'isms' wouldn't today be sweeping the continent and breaking down parliamentary government, and if England had made peace early in 1917, it would have saved over one million British, French, American and other lives."

-- Winston Churchill, 1936

If the American Civil War was to break out now,we'd have British and French peacekeepers interceding,we'd have the UN calling for a coaliton government,and the worldwide media would hotly debate whether America was mature enough to run its own affairs.

then the question becomes - why would he say what he said unless it was a smokescreen of some kind.
