USS Narwhal, it is:)
Well it was our fault we started it when we forced Japan to trade with us at gun point way back when, it ticked them off so bad that in less than a centuary they were able to defeat Russia in a huge naval engagement, then they did the same expanshion thing europe had been doing for ever(and us) then well we dident like that, said it was not nice, what was good for us in the west was not good for them, and we said you have been bad and spanked them( no oil), and well....
Clearly It was a twisted empire and clearly somthing had to be done, but it was not a suprise atack, was not realy ment to be, war was to declared before it happened, the British knew it was coming, and we did not read the signs.
Hind sight is always 20/20, and from that war we learned a few things and the circumstances which lead up to it the general misunderstanding and misconception which contibuted to the path that lead to war have been remidied some what. we have better intelegance now and more importantly we have better understanding of that intelegance.
Did we do the right thing after Dec 7, H!ll yes.
Did the Japanese...no. But that is according to our view now, not theirs then, then they did what they had to do, we can not second gues and condem that which seamed to be a good deshion yesterday based on our knowledge at the time. But we use yesterday to make a better dishion for tomarow. Just because we would not now do it, does not mean that then it was wrong to do.
