[Jukka Juutinen]

There was no such thing as a "Rooseveltian ideology"? Of course there was: it was called the "One World" ideology, an ideology that aimed at world domination in co-operation with the USSR. Good reading on the topic includes Thomas B. Fleming's "New Dealer's War" and Herbert Hoover's "Freedom Betrayed". As for "militarisation" of an entire society, so what? The most brutal practitioners of war have always been civilians either in the form of scientists, politicians or religious fundamentalists. Plus, e.g. in the current Middle East the most militarised society is also the most orderly (Israel). Another good book: Martin van Creveld's Culture of war, a healthy antidote to quasi-pacifism.
