The reason why there will never be peace in the Middle East is because of your type of distorted mentality. Meaning, just because we Americans refuse to sell materiel to a country, should be enough reasoning to attack Americans, as we defend ourselves, as then we're called "terrorists". - Yup, there some solid reasoning right there.  |
I don't know why you're saying distorted. I agree with you it didn't start with the Japanese but that still doesn't excuse the US retaliating against a civilian population for a military attack. The attack on Pearl Harbor was an attack on a military base, the nuclear bombs the US dropped were meant to murder as many innocent civilians as possible.
Do you see the terrorism now? Or do you support attacks on civilian populations as revenge for a military attack, say for example if the US were to attack lets say an Afghan militant then you would support Afghans coming to the US and say flying airplanes into buildings full of civilians?
What is this about refusing to sell materials? The US set up a naval blockade of Japan meaning they wouldn't allow resources into the country, it wasn't the US refusing to sell things to Japan. It was the US being in the water actively stopping ships from reaching Japan which is an island nation with almost no resources of their own. Educate yourself before bringing out the laughy faces because then it just looks like you're laughing at yourself.
I may have left out the China thing and I agree with you 100% that what Japan was doing to China was horrible, but that still doesn't (doesn't even come close to) excuse a nuclear attack on a civilian population by the US. That was and is and will always be a terrorist attack against the Japanese people. It was uncalled for and the US should have been and should be stripped of their nuclear weapons because of it.
