Lyuokdea said:Are you seriously trying to say that we shouldn't have gotten involved in World War II? So if Country X bombs our shipyard and kills thousands of our soldiers, it is immoral and unjustifiable for us to defend ourselves, but, if our own country is taxing us too much and telling us not to kill Indians, we should be free to start a Civil War? From almost any objective standpoint, World War II was much more justifiable than the Revolutionary War.

WW2 and American involvement is v. complex issue,but we could have avoided it completelly.
Remember that USA and other western countries started Asian colonization by hummiliating Chinese people and all other Asians,Japan was almost colonized.
But years before WW2, USA was very aggressive in capturing most valuable assets in Asia(oil fields)right on the door steeps of Japan.Japan having at that time also colonnial interests felt some insecurity.Having big military Japanese felt this area should be under their conntrol or at least some influence(oil started to be strategic asset) USA pursuing politics of expansionism sooner or later was asking for trouble ,war was inevitable.
PS I'm thankfull for never to learn USA history from official dep. of education books.Otherwise I also would think naively that USA is shining light unto the World, innocent and peacfull nation.
