SW VandeCarr said:You seem to saying Japan had some right to start the Pacific War because the US government was sympathetic to Britain and France but remained officially neutral. France, of course had already been defeated and its overseas possessions were nominally under Vichy control.
I'm saying the U.S. actively supported Japans enemies and had been working against them politically for years. We were not simple innocent folk who had no idea Japan was about to attack us and had done nothing to provoke them. This has nothing to do with "rights", as there is no legal system anywhere that determines whether countries have the right to go to war or not.
