#8  Yes they do apologize CS after years anti-American indoctrination in universities and colleges. Somehow they always skip over the fact that not only was Hawaii a territory of the United States, so was the Philippines. They also bury the butchery committed by the Imperial Japanese Forces upon those people. Never hear about the body count in the Philippines and Manila. They also skip over the fact that the Japanese government directed their civilian population to commit suicide rather than be captured at Saipan and Okinawa.

#5  I was watching a Pearl Harbor documentary last weekend and some of the scholars were actually apologetic about the brutal response to Japans attack and invasion of U.S. territory. Highlights (sic) included the firebombing of Tokyo, lack of prisoners taken, attacks on Japanese shipping, and nukes dropped on Japan. No mention of Japans peaceful acquisition of the Philippines, Indochina, and Manchuria. Apparently Roosevelt should have continued shipping Japan war supplies while they attacked our allies and friends.

#4  How many times have Islamists declared war [jihad] on us to date? I've lost count...

#3  Ahem.

Germany declared war on us (Dec 9, 1941). Anything we did to them after that was fair, and certainly not unprovoked.

They asked for it, they got it.

#2  Ah, yes, Procop, you're onto something.

(moonbats)I'd also note that Roosevelt waged war against the Iraqis German (Nazis) too, even though they NEVER had attacked us at home. Also, remember that Israel Hawaii was NOT a U.S. State at the time, and some would say the Japs never even attacked "America." Finally, don't they know that the Japanese (Shinto), the Germans (Nazis), and the Italians (Fascists) would NEVER conspire together because their religion gov'ts are sooooo different. (/moonbats).

#1  Yes, but we should also remember that Franklin Roosevelt would launch an unauthorized, unprovoked, surprise attack against the North African territories of neutral Vichy France many months later. No state of war existed between the US and France. No congressional authorization had been approved. In the great schemes of things, probably a very good strategic move on several levels, however, do note well how that fact is buried deep by the Donks and most histories. Their patron saint of the 20th Century did a far more unconstitutional act than anything BushHitler [sarcasm] stands accused of.
