An essay worth your time at Ghost of a Flea:

...Imagine film reels of every grieving mother of every lost man asked what she thought of Roosevelt's war. If ersatz documentarians mocked the President for taking the war to Germany and not to Japan. If conspiracy theorists in university lecture halls insisted Roosevelt knew in advance of the attack on Pearl Harbor. If the whole war were blamed on a "cabal" of influential Jews. If everything from Roosevelt family commercial interests to oil in the Caucasus was cited as the real reason for the war. There is, of course, no need to imagine people who would make such claims: they were Nazis and their apologists. Only in those days Nazi press credentials were not lauded in leftist documentaries lecturing us on the perfidy of capitalism and the romantic nationalist cause of Adolph Hitler, "spiritual leader" of the German people. His maniacal aims excused as the result of Versailles. The mass graves of his numberless victims overlooked by preference to finger-pointing at President Roosevelt's college drinking...

Excellent stuff.
