"USA: We'll find the quickest way and easiest way to get to anything! Damn the consequences!"
Japan certainly found the quickest and easiest way to bring us INTO to war by suddenly bombing us just shy of a legitimate declaration of war.
Racism plays a huge factor here. Remember, this is the '40s. America didn't just hate the Germans and Japanese... watch some '40s Looney Tunes cartoons. They are instructive. Or political cartoons.
Man, those are some fine cartoons too. It's a shame that they were pulled from the air waves by uptight liberals (cough cough). I admit, though, that they are obviously tainted, and were a form of propaganda.
Dropping of the A-Bomb: the Americans may have wanted to kill, but how many people that died as a result of the A-bomb wanted to kill?
How many of the sailors, soldiers and civilians who were sleeping in, going to church or doing their peacetime duty wanted to go kill the Japanese prior to their being bombed? I bet if you'd interviewed anyone at Pearl Harbor at 6:30am on December 7th, they would've rather kept on sleeping than go get blown up.
The Germans, and Hitler, are mocked. Hitler generally looks like a fool and they regularly humiliate him. The Germans are stupid and silly but not sinister or something...
Well isn't that just a fucking crying shame. On behalf of the United States, I would like to apologize to the Nazi party, and especially Hitler, for that callous barbaric behavior. We were wrong to "humiliate" you, Hitler. You deserve better. I tried getting the state of Israel to join me in this apologetic motion, but they weren't inclined to feel so apologetic. Something about a holoca---holocron or something like that.
