This is the powerful America I remember, and the way the world perceived us in righteousness and moral fortitude in the world at this time after we were attacked, and especially our resolve when we had a problem or problems to solve in these ways. We didn't do this by allowing our moral strength to be compromised as it is being compromised badly today..

Well, here's your problem.
What you remember didn't happen.
The rest of the world had already been at war for years before we got involved, and frankly, a lot more Chinese, Russians and Indians died winning WWII than Americans did.
But if you want to go there, the reason we did so well was because a liberal president "Didn't let a crisis go to waste" and took the oppurtunity to nationalize much of the economy and expand the scope of government to unprecedented levels. .
