We should go to war because if we don't, then we could be attacked and potentially die as a nation. If we stay neutral, then both sides could attack us, but if we choose a side, the only the unpicked one can. We will have double the chances of winning the war if we choose a side because we will have more manpower. If america wants to prove itself as a nation, then what better way than winning a war! It could backfire and we could still end up losing, but it's better losing in war and putting up a fight then on the sidelines getting destroyed.
