We could debate another war too

The British and French were our allies of long-standing, and Hitler was directly conquering them or already trying to. And Hitler declared the war against the USA, NOT vice-versa. The USA was attacked by Hitler's ally. When we the USA declared war on Japan, Germany declared war on the USA. If Hitler had conquered all of Europe, there was a threat that he would invade more lands. His ambition knew no bounds. He could have stopped at any point. He did not.

But other dictators and tyrants are not necessarily like Hitler. That was OUR mistake in Vietnam.

Hitler was evil and  I agree that his ambition knew no bounds. The more he got, the more he wanted. Fortunately for us he choked on Russia. If he had prevailed in Russia and Europe, I have no doubt that Hitler would have come after the US as well.
