There are some who oppose what the government does, and they do protest. There are also those who agree with the government and they don't protest or they counter protest. But to be honest Serbiangirl, most Americans don't really care about what happens in the rest of the world. They would be hard pressed to even find Lybia on a world map...Hell, many wouldn't be able to find Africa..the Continant that Lybia is in.
Serbiangirl; The thing about Hitler is this, Germany was a powerful country and Hitler took over large areas of Europe and killed many millions of innocent people. Useing German's pride and resentment from ww1, he was able to carve out a sizeable empire, and this with a country mostly land locked and surrounded by enemies. The USA would have given him 5 times the population with far more natural resources and two oceans seperateing him from everyone else.
Look at it like this, with Germany, Hitler had one country to work with. In the US he would have had 50 countries to work with. Basically each State is like a nation within a nation. So he would have had far more playing pieces on the field when ww2 started, with a much larger capacity to replace pieces that were lost. Plus he would have had 7,000 to 10,000 miles of ocean between him and all his enemies. Those oceans are formidable barriers in themselves.
