Unfortunatly, these are actions of war. From what I know, the US was still "nuetral" yet they cut oil supplies to both Japan, and Germany. If that is the case then I can see why the Japanese believed that the US had become an enemy, and all things are fair in war. I dont, however, believe that we should try to place blame or play sides all these decades later. I think we should just look back at what it was, and try to do our part to keep stupid mistakes like that from repeating themselves. Its one thing to kill soldiers in war, but to erradicate the inocent to prove military might is another. I also think, that since Japan is now our ally, and they have more than proven thier loyalty, that the US should stop being stubborn and allow them there own military, what good is an ally if they are unable to help fight the good fights.
