Without trying to sound cynical, the USA was an isolationist state at the time, that took the view that went something like....

This here war is in Europe...

Europe is not in America...

Therefore the war can not be in America...

If the war is not in America, it must not be our problem...

If this war is not our problem...

Then we do not need to fight it. Strangely enough, 25 years later they initially took exactly the same view on WW2
