Re: Sneak Attack, (an idea based upon Pearl Harbor)
Possum - You are correct in saying it was inevitable but you are wrong in your reasons. Japan was a EVIL expansionist nation at the time. Plain and simple. They wanted land and they wanted power. They ignored the 5-5-3 treaty, and were planing for a war with the US for many years. You forgot to mention WHY there was an oil embargo as well. Where they screwed up was going to war with the US too soon before they had enough production. If you know your history so well you will know the Japanese mind set at the time was the reason for the war, and their actions durring that war were as close to evil as man can come.
I have no problem with Japan now but lets not rewrite history.
This is my Last post on this thread.
