Sure it needed to enter the war - it wanted to put down Japan and take control of the pacific. Plus, the war allowed it to gain massive influence over Europe and better containment of the USSR.

But that doesn't mean the people of the world needed the US to enter the war. Just like they didn't need the other imperial states to engage in their world wars.
