Maybe if people wouldn't get their views of history from 'Pearl Harbor' and 'Black Hawk Down', they would be *somewhat* better informed?
I've seen neither, so go fuck yourself.

Anyway, you're missing the point.

If I piss in your lemonade, I am provoking you. That does not mean that I am provoking you deliberately such that you will attack my country.

The burden of proof is on the accuser. Jag suggests that we deliberately provoked Japan so that we could enter war with them. I'm asking him to provide proof. Not some web pages that say "yeah, Japan and the US weren't the best of friends". I don't care about that.

Proof that it was US policy (maybe unknown to the public) that we were going to provoke Japan such that there would be a war.
