CoyoteUgly, you are quite right that Imperial Japan claimed that America was strangling their ambitions by our embargo of oil and other resources, and that was what they used as an excuse for Pearl Harbor.
However, that is not the same as it actually being true, CoyoteUgly. You should know better than to base your arguments by taking the side of Togo.
And I'm pretty sure the Chinese would have something to say to you about reading history books. Try reading what Japan was doing to the Chinese before Pearl Harbor, as part of their vaunted Greater Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere, then you can lecture me about reading up, hmmm?
But go on, tell us how Tojo and the rest of Japan's mass murderers were justified in what they were doing, justify it all. I'm eager to read your arguments.
