Hopefully this looks okay in my sig.

Honestly though, if people really want to be asses about Pearl Harbor, they need to look at a few facts:
1) It was a strategic move. We admitted it, it was. In Japan's shoes we probably would've carried out the exact same thing.
2) In the end we unleashed the most devestating weapon devised by man (basically, don't get smart about the early low-yeild atom bombs and the higher-yeild, more recent hydrogen bombs), and not once, but twice on them. The loss of life was exponentially higher than what we suffered at Pearl Harbor, as was the destruction. And also note that we're the only one's who've ever deployed a nuclear strike and followed through, and Japan is the only country to ever recieve an actual nuclear attack.
3) Unless your grandpa was killed, or maybe (and this is probably a far stretch) your immediate family was killed at Pearl Harbor, why do you care so much? Yes, it was a devastating suprise attack. Yes, it was a slap to the face. Yes, it was a bit of a back-stab.
But what can anyone do about it? It's happened, get over it. No amount of spite or hatred is going to change that. Feelings like those are what promote conflict.
And don't "bleeding-heart democrat" me. I'm Republican, and pro-military. This isn't a party thing.
I agree with you, Japan had already paid for what happened in Pearl Harbor.
This was just tragic what happened to them.
Hopefully more and more people will come and help them.
Not because of their nationality, but because we are all man and all were created equal.
Race should never be a hindrance in helping others, and I believe everyone who brings up Pearl Harbor should go back and read their history books.
