jrclark,
You're both right and wrong.
The V2 was, as you say, not an ICBM. The United States was never, EVER in danger from German rockets.
However, the US did not enter the war to help defeat Nazi Germany because it feared a strengthened Axis power in a conquered and consolidated Europe. It dis so because Hitler declared war on the United States. There is quite a bit of politics mixed up in all this, including an anti-war congress, pro-interventionist President, pro-isolationist public etc, but that's the general ghist of it.
Let me also just add one more comment. Even a victorious Nazi Germany was unable to mount an invasion of the United Kingdon, just 20 miles across the Channel, as 95% of all military historians agree and historical fact proves, do you really think they could attack the United States across the Atlantic Ocean?
