"told you so" — WWII was one of the best things to happen to the US from an economic standpoint. Before joining the war effort the US was selling weapons to the allies and making piles of money doing so. Post WWII the US had the largest economic boom in history.

I really wonder what the world would look like today if they'd managed to avoid this senseless war and/or the first World War.
