I attempted to take no high ground, moral or otherwise.
I just responded to your preposterous statement that "Pearl Harbour was the result of failed US foreign policy." The attack was the direct result of the attempt by the Japanese govenment of that time to gain miltary control over the mainland of Asia and most of the Pacific.
I suggest that you read "flyboys" by James Bradley, especially those parts that deal with the manner in which the military of Japan dominated the government and distorted the samurai code of bushido into a a military cult that convinced itself it could never be defeated, even by a vastly superior force. A Munich-style concession to the Japanese might have averted war in the short term, but Japan's military goals made war with the US and Britain inevitable.
