Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Amazing Muppet Show cake: [link] H Has pretty much all the characters on it - in 3d. A work of art - it'd almost be a crime to eat it, except it's cake, so you gotta eat it....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
With or without the benefit of hindsight?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I'm not sure that Should is a logical question. It is interesting to ask why and to talk about how we talk about WWII. and it is even more interesting to talk about the change ( maybe even evolution ) of our isolationist policy to world policeman

Laughing Matilda is adorable. I can't wait until she grows up into Waltzing Matilda.

There seems to be a pouplar notion that the US dragged its heels getting into the world wars.

I don't think so, though Emmett liked lemons and limes when he was that age.
She does like hummus and feta. I'm not sure what a one year old's taste buds are like, but I suspect they're not really like a four or five year olds.

Well, I do think we should've taken some notion from WWI that German military aggression was a Bad Thing. Though I suppose the lesson we thought we learned from WWI is that Europe was filled with crazy, factional, post-Hapsburg, post-Napoleon feuds that we'd do well to avoid.
But Germany running over Poland and France and blitzing London should've looked like a supremely bad thing, I think. Though the will to go to war was not likely to be pinged by anything other than a direct attack. Which happened.

Heh. You do know that a "matilda" is sort of like a backpack right? So to go waltzing with matilda means to hit the road with your bindlestiff.

A bad thing to be sure, but why would it be our immediate problem?
Are allies being attacked justification for entering a war? We were an ocean away, fairly safe, and didn't have much of a standing army.
