toneTONE

I think that the tone of the American declaration of war was one of little choice. I don't think that the american government wanted to involve themselves in Europe's squabble. The only reason they did is in retaliation, and the only reason they retaliated was to please the american public. With the Germans pumped full of narcissism by Hitler I would think their response was somewhat of a taunt, like "bring it on you stupid amewicans.".  German had most of Europe so I'm sure they could care less about America involving itself.
