I know what he thinks, and it's wrong.

Firstly, the attack on Pearl Harbour wouldn't have happened at all if the US hadn't annexed (stolen) Hawai'i just to establish a naval base at sea. (You know, conquering other lands like the Japanese were doing in WW2 - except the US does it for power and control, whereas Japan did it to simply keep their country from collapsing. We'll get to that.)

The US wanted to join the war in Europe, but Hitler wasn't taking their bait to attack "first". The US public was 80% against joining at the time. Japan was allied to Germany, so the US turned to them.

The initial attack against Japan by the US, was the breaking of their treaty with Japan. This would halt the shipment of resources Japan needed (mostly oil at the time) to fuel its economy. Japan needed to seek elsewhere these resources, and a lot of neighbouring countries do have them. So what do you think happened next? Japan did what the US currently does (and has always done) and invaded other countries for the procurement of said resources.

The bombing of Pearl Harbour was a pre-emptive defensive, as the Japanese knew the US would eventually send fleets out to defend the countries they were attacking. Similar to Chess, the US had seen this move coming from the start when they broke the treaty, and is exactly what they needed to sway the public's opinion from 80% against joining the war in Europe (as Japan and Germany were allied, as mentioned) to majority-for.

The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (where the main target was the Mitsubishi factory - but they missed) were to simply end that side of the war, as they never had intended on a full-out ground battle, and they had already gotten what they needed from the Japanese.

This is why "D-Day" took place two years after the rest of us were already fighting in Europe.

In short, the US stole Hawai'i, broke a treaty with evil intentions, and essentially had their own people bombed in Hawai'i, just so they could join the war in Europe. Then they bombed hundreds of thousands of innocents in Japan. Pure evil and murder.

Why? War = $$.

And don't try to say the US broke the treaty with and bombed the Japanese because of what Japan was doing at the time. We all know the US doesn't do anything unless it's somehow helping itself.
