George F. Will - The high price of American hubris

George F. Will - The high price of American hubris

Will mentions something that would be too perfect to believe if it were made up:

Wilson said, in effect, "Stop the world, America wants to get off." He actually said America would "in no circumstances consent to live in a world governed by intrigue and force." And so the next war came, on Sept. 1, 1939, when dignitaries were in Geneva, birthplace and cemetery of the League of Nations, unveiling a statue of Wilson.
We don't always get to choose our wars and our enemies, sometimes they choose us.
