re: #395 Killgore Trout
The whole “Roosevelt knew” thing’s been around since December 8th, as it were. There was very strong anti-war opinion in this country; some folk were still pissed about the Great War, and didn’t want to get tangled up in another one. Others thought the New Europe that was taking shape was the wave of the future, and feared we’d end up on the wrong side.
And there were whacky folk ready, willing, and able to supply any excuse to support this inclination.
