The point here is your "friend" is trying to argue that the US was casting about for an excuse to enter the war in Europe; yet, it was Germany that took the necessary aggressive moves against the US....and largely unilaterally...to get America into the war in Europe.

This is the kind of goods I need. I just chatted with him about these sort of facts and it just made him shut down. He has no facts or people (excluding conspiracy thoery people) to back up his very incomplete logic. But now I've realized he's just an ignorant fool that won't take into consideration the truth. Thanks to all for the input. Feel free to add more on the subject.
