Of course we would have. President Roosevelt had started the Nation's first peacetime draft in history, starting in 1939, before the war began. Before the draft, the US had around 100,000 active duty soldiers. A year after the draft, we had over a million. By the end of the war we had over twelve million soldiers. \n   Roosevelt's massive pre-war military expansion was a precautionary measure; he could smell a storm coming, and we needed to be ready\n   Consider how world war one played out. We stayed on the sidelines and watched the Europeans kick the snot out of each other for three years. But we were not neutral. From the beginning of the war, we wanted Great Britain to win, because we knew our seas would not protect us from the world's turmoil much longer, and we needed good friends on the other side of the ocean. So even though we didn't fight until 1917, we kept sending food and war material to the Allies, which kept them in the game against Germany.  Germany realised that as long as we kept supplying their enemy, they could not win. So the Germans, out of necessity, started sinking our ships, and then, finally, we went to war, after the Germans were exhausted from endless trench warfare.  This strategy was preffered by the US, as it made winning much eaisier and less painful.\n   Back to WWII....\n   By the autumn of 1941, history was repeating itself, as we had hoped. The Germans were locked into an ugly, brutal stalemate (in USSR), that was taking a heavy toll on their military (and the USSR). We would have been content to let that play out another year or two, but inevitably, when Germany was on the ropes, we would have mobilized our Armed Forces to deliver the coup de gras.\n   When Japan launched a major strike on US soil, that did not change our ultimate decision, it just brought us into the war earlier than we had planned on. Winston Churchill cheered when we got hit, because he knew we'd have to start helping then.

If you want detail, then go to the library.  This is too complex for a short Yahoo answer.  There are many thick textbooks on this subject, you should start there!
