I would not apologise for something I had no part in, I would just express regret. Similarly I think that an expression of regret from the PM could be made, an apology is not really appropriate.

Pearl Harbor wouldn't have happened if the US hadn't acted like an aggressive sonofa***** in 1846 and 1898 (and in taking over Hawaii), or if they hadn't restricted free trade with Japan.Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche

Actually it's true. If we hadn't been in the Pacific as a result of our aggressive wars in the 19th Century, Japan couldn't possibly have attacked PacFlt at Pearl Harbor. Think about it.Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche

Saying that Pearl Harbor wouldn't have happened if we didn't own Pearl Harbor isn't exactly brilliant insight.

They were bullies. They would have taken their shot regardless. It was a power play, Floyd. Didn't matter what we did in the 1800's. "There could be only one!"Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche

Look, genius, it's simple logic. The US had bases in the Pacific because of US aggression. If you take away the aggression, you take away the bases. If you take away the bases, Japan can't attack them. Remember, the US wouldn't be on the West Coast either, so I'm not sure where you think Japan would have attacked, or why.

Fine, but you are missing the point. If we hadn't acted immorally originally, Japan could not have acted immorally against us.
Besides which, it was wrong for the government to restrict free trade with Japan.Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche

Oh, and in any case, it does not speak very highly of the personal morality of many people when they support and defend the atomic bombing of civilians as revenge for an attack on a purely military target that only killed a few thousand people.Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche

We aren't. But the US government has a moral obligation not to infringe upon the freedom of Americans (including American businesses) to trade with whomever they want.Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche
