I read the article. I agree except with his assertion we didn't seek war
with Nazi Germany or Japan. We DID seek war with both those nations. FDR ran
illegal wars against both those countries prior to Pearl Harbor. Now we
gaily recall the hero days of the Flying Tigers, but that was a war crime by
any standards (Shooting down Japanese planes in China with American pilots
sponsored by the US govt without a declaration of war) and we attacked German
submarines in the Atlantic long before we were at war with Germany.
This is not hyperbole. This is the public record. At Nurenberg, such actions
were punished with death.
