Now people argue that we embargoed Oil on Japan and forced them into war. The plain truth is they had invaded Manchuria Before the embargo. The embargo was meant to try and remove their ability to make war on other nations, and led to them attacking us in the end. However that does not mean we should not have done it.
Yes, Japan was doing horrible things. It's not, however, our place to try to right every wrong in the world. We didn't have the moral authority back then, and we certainly don't have it now.
[America] goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. - John Quincy Adams
It is the place of every human to attempt to right every wrong in the world. It can't be done, but you TRY.
