I can't really stomach all of this second-guessing. As our vetereans of the conflict die off, so do our memories, apparently.
Japan was no Iraq. We were *attacked* without provocation. There was no ambiguity, no oil to be had. Whatever they got was whatever they got. An apology would be completely out of line, unless it was something like "We're sorry your leaders were stupid enough to attack us, so we had to kick your asses."
