In general I like Bolton but Japan’s reason for attacking Pearl Harbor keeps nagging at me and how similar our dealing with Iran is to it.
Cutting off Japan’s access to raw materials and SE Asia oil was a big part of their lashing out.
We keep goading Iran and they may do the same.
Iran looking forward to the ultimate holy war is disconcerting.
For a long time, we as Americans, weren’t supposed to dare question the how’s and why’s of Pearl Harbor. Many are now pondering the sequence of events and possible motivations of key players, including the US President of that time.
Sometimes, other countries are justified in being upset with the actions of my country. One should remain objective. I’m no Blame-America type at all, but I have matured in my reasoning. People do all manner of things to obtain and maintain their power.
