Best. Churchill Quote. Ever.
“America should have minded her own business and stayed out of the World War. If you hadn’t entered the war the Allies would have made peace with Germany in the Spring of 1917. Had we made peace then there would have been no collapse in Russia followed by Communism, no breakdown in Italy followed by Fascism, and Germany would not have signed the Versailles Treaty, which has enthroned Nazism in Germany. If America had stayed out of the war, all these ‘isms’ wouldn’t to-day be sweeping the continent of Europe and breaking down parliamentary government, and if England had made peace early in 1917, it would have saved over one million British, French, American, and other lives.” -1936

Yes, but if America had stayed out of the war, then US establishment types would have had much less clout on the world stage. So you can see the dilemma they were in.
That fat old bulldog hit it right on the nail. Too bad he had such an affection for weaponized gasses.
It is a great quote, ….but is a disputed quotation.
There is some information on the dispute on Wikiquote. See http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Churchill - the ‘Disputed Quotations” section.

Published as having been made in an interview with William Griffin, editor of theNew York Enquirer (August 1936), who was indicted for sedition by F.D.R.’s Attorney General Francis Biddle in 1942. In a sworn statement before Congress in 1939 Griffin affirmed Churchill had said this. Congressional Record (1939-10-21) vol. 84. p. 686. In 1942, Churchill admitted having had the 1936 interview but disavowed having made the statement (The New York Times, 1942-10-22. p. 13).
In his article “The Hidden Tyranny,” Benjamin Freedman atrributed this quotation to an article in the non-interventionist publication Scribner’s Commentator in 1936. However, that magazine did not exist until 1939. He probably got the date wrong or may have been referring to one of its predecessor Scribner’s Monthly or Payson Publishing’s The Commentator.
