Chapter 75
Of course, when he started out, Wilson didn’t have that much interest in the rest of the world.
2uFor example, it was during Wilson’s first term that the Europeans finally went completely nuts and started World War I,
3vWhich most of the Yanks didn’t understand,
4wOr even care about,
5At all.
6After thinking it over very carefully,
7xWilson decided that the best thing to do about World War I was nothing,
8At all,
9Which was an enormously popular strategy,
10aAnd got him reelected to a second term,
11With a huge mandate to keep on doing nothing at all,
12Which he did,
13bUntil something happened,
14Something that wouldn’t have happened if the Europeans had known anything at all about the Yanks,
15cWhich they didn’t.
