Leave it to the simple to try and drag it down to their level so they can understand it.
A quick replay. Japan had been aggressive for nearly 50 years prior to 1941, for Pdoggy and Roosevelt to use it as some sort of excuse for economic santions is as absurd now as it was back then. Roosevelt simply jumped the gun when Japan joined the Axis. Prior to that, the US and Japan were butt buddies. Japan had two choices, fight or die. Japan was busy kicking major ass in Asia, building a massive empire, and Roosevelt thought the Japanese would just stand back and let him destroy their economy? Riiiight.
The mechanics of it is almost of no consequence, the point is, Americans love to cry about shit they bring upon themselves. You would not be gimping out to put your flag at half mast for the "victims" had Roosevelt pulled his head out of his ass. America got what America asked for.
12/7 should be remember for Roosevelt being a fuckup, not Pearl Harbor.
