Whoa there! Aren't we ignoring the American "only unconditional
surrender 
accepted" policy? The japanese tried negotiation to lift the oil
embargo. 
Guess who turned that down? Guess what options that left for the
Japanese?
Aren't we forgetting which "Defenders of The Free (White) World" refused

to put a clause for *racial*equality* in the Versailles Peace Treaty 
after WWI?

It's amazing how black & white *both* sides still see the issue after 
50-60 years.

I'm curious: What does the average American high school history book
have 
to say about the political situation before Pearl?
