Oh yes many profit from making war. Our world would be overcrowded if not for wars and plagues but should it be that way.
human beings are dispensable whilst the war makers rub their hands in glee. |

It's not revisionist history. I am fully aware that Japan was at war, so was the US under FDR, That's why they implaced the embargo. It's also what forced Japan's hand, they couldn't maintain the wars they were fighting without replaceing fuel and supplies. Things the embargo denied them access to.
Dogsbody70; I personally think man can slip into such carnage so easily because he's evil at heart. I understand we have knowledge of both good and evil, but evil is like water, it allways seeks the easiest route. |

Of course not all the population will think this way but if you lock up and execute enough dissenters and outlaw any political parties opposed to the new world view you are fostering, which is what happened in Japan, then soon those who don't agree with what's happening learn to keep their mouths shut. |

GO NATIVE you are right there. Certainly Hitler brainwashed his countrymen and children till they were like robots. From what I have read Japan was run by the military-----------
I wonder now with the internet if it will be so easy to hide or breed false information about other countries. Although false rumours can be spread so easily. POWER corrupts. |

Ironically back when the US was founded it was "free trade with everyone, treaties with no one". We weren't supposed to get involved in world affairs, just give equipment and goods to who ever wanted them. Some think we should go back to being like that, let the world rot while we make money and do our own thing. I can't say thats wrong headed really, considering the US is basically a continant it could certainly be self sufficient, and it's not like any one really poses much of a threat.

The US embargoed Japan, creating the situation that occured. Thus allowing the chance to declare war on Germany that FDR hoped for. Wether it was a strange confluence of events or artful manipulation is beside the point, because of those events the US got involved in a major way.
Now I happen to think FDR, who was in contact with Churchill since the war started in europe, helped the scenario along via political manouvering, your free to disagree with that, that's fine. It's not the end of the world either way. |

you got it wrong again dude? Germany declared war on the United States not the other way around ( Dec. 11, 1941').
Germany was not obligated to declare war after Dec. 7, 1941' with Japan because Pearl Harbor attack was pre-emptive attack by Japan on the US. Not even under the Sept. 27, 1940 Triparte Pact that established the Axis powers Germany and Japan, Italy was Germany obligated to enter into war with US. |

As for the claim that Hilter was in on the original planning of the attack on Pearl Harbor, while it would fit his mindset, the Luftwaffe did not have the strategic positioning for this to have been even remotely possible at that time. For Hirohito to have even considered the Germans to be more than mere political support is inconceivable. Only Japan had the fleet in the Pacific to bring aircraft close enough for such an attack and they had no need of Hilter in their simultaneous attacks on Pearl Harbor and the rest of SE Asia (Guam, Phillipines, Midway). Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life. ********************* Find your voice; silence will not protect you.
