I agree. You must lower it.
 
OOC: Everyone is a commedian. It should be higher for simply following his campaign promises.

OOC: At this point because Germany had clearly become a threat to America, and Americans were not so devoted to neutrality that they were going to sit around and let Germany dominate Europe.
 
OOC: Well, they did still sink the Lusitania. And Rape Belgium/Luxembourg. And send the Zimmerman telegram. And mount an attack on your soil.

Bush went to war with Afghanistan and Iraq over less.
 
OOC: The propaganda shall change!! The media will find themselves with tons of photos of British autrocities.

I never released the contents of the Zimmermann not to the public of media, so nothing from that for you guys.
 
OOC: So then they'll want to go to war with everyone? :p
 
OOC: They did still sink the Lusitania, rape Belgium and Luxembourg and attack you on your soil.
 
OOC: Sure thing. Im not sure the public will agree that the Entente is to blame for Germany killing 7 people including a 10 week old baby and causing $402,000,000 of damage in todays money.
 
OOC: I'm pretty sure the British released the note to the US Government, who then in turn released it to the media.

Like I said Doom, propaganda can do anything. If it can paint the Germans as blood thirsty barbarians, it can paint the British as shadowy figures conspiring to bring the US into the war at any costs. It was a British ship that had US citizens on it after all.
 
OOC: Whats to stop the British releasing it to the US media now? I mean, Im sure it would be a very sought after story.
 
OOC: The fact that no one cares about it after the President already made a statement about it.
It would be like the media receiving the declaration of war against Germany in WW2 after FDR already went and said they were declaring war.
 
OOC: So if you have already made a statement, then surely its public knowledge. Therefore, the public will be annoyed at it.

Either way, they still bombed you and killed 7 people.
