I think you may be right here, the whole mess was believed to have started with the San Francisco School incident. Again this is taxing my limits on American history. They believed United States' racist policies on Japanese immigrants as they were being segregated into Asian schools. The Japanese agreed not to issue passports for Japanese citizens wishing to work in the United States, thus eliminating immigration. In return, schools in San Francisco, California agreed not to discriminate against students of Japanese descent. I guess it would be hard to pin point and exact point that led to war, I can only say that if it comes to that point, then both sides should take a serious look at there own policies and motives. The odds of that happening are pathetically slim however. Thanks for response Kevin -- "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
