Your original argument was that the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor because we had placed a naval blockade on them. You clearly stated that here:

Educate yourself before bringing out the laughy faces because then it just looks like you're laughing at yourself.

I provided the information to disprove this argument three times so far in this thread. Somehow you still cannot comprehend the difference between an embargo, which was the reason the Japanese bomber Pearl Harbor, and a naval blockade, which was not put in place until six months after the war began, even though I provided you with the definition for both terms. Yet you call me stupid.
Let me try to explain it to you in a way that might be easier for you to understand: America stops selling shit to Japan, Japan gets pissed, bombs Pearl Harbor. America declares war on Japan, starts dropping bombs and shit on them. America sends a bunch of battleships and shit over to Japan to block shit from getting in.
Then you provide a definition of a terrorist attack that further bolsters my argument as to why I don't necessarily believe the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were terrorist attacks:

Definition for terrorist attack:
Web definitions:
a surprise attack involving the deliberate use of violence against civilians in the hope of attaining political or religious aims.

Nothing about the bombings was a surprise, that's the point I was trying to make when I said they were given an ultimatum, had millions of leaflets dropped over them warning them of the attack, and had the warning broadcast over the radio to them.
Anyway, you've managed to completely derail this thread, i'm done. I'm gonna go paint some happy Muhammeds for the local mosque.
