Did the united states make the right choose in not getting involved in the war until pearl harbor?

I believe the United states didn't make the right chose in not getting involved in the war until pearl harbor because I feel that if we had been in the war in the first place more lives would have been lost but pearl harbor wouldn't have been able to happen cause we would be there to stop them

when a country suffers, for example, a drought period, the market product is affected for a low offer, in this case, potatoes; the government has to tax to the households, which have to give more money for the potatoes which they consume, that situation make them consume substitute goods even through loans, it could increase the financial market movement and the inflationary phenomena, the business has to increase salaries in order to the employees could buy a more expensive food (potatoes) and in order to inflation tha business had to buy expensive supplies in the factor market, while the rest of the world have to gain more money to consume the same amount of potatoes.
