President Roosevelt worried about the rise of Fascisim and Dictators but the American populace did not understand how brutal and cruel, well murderous, the dictators of other nations could be. He did try to educate the Americans and some of the freelance and foreign correspondents tried to do that too through out the 1930s and 1940s.

Unfortunately, due to the "sting of World War 1" the Americans and Canadians had developed a calloused heart about European nations and other nations' problems. They were afraid of having their sons killed off in a futile and uncessary war fought over monarch issues.

So the America populace were basically ignorant of dictators and their behavior. They did not have television, internet, GPS cell phones, satellites, global newspapers or global telephones as we have today. They had an excuse for being ignorant. We do not however so we have to be on our toes to protect other nations who are being harmed by evil dictators (like Sadam Hussein).
