What are you trying to argue? That Pearl Harbor wasn't a surprise attack?
That the Japanese didn't employ terrorist tactics against American civilians?

> And since when did saying "I hate you, I'm going to war with you" make it OK to indiscriminately kill civilians
Maybe ask the Japanese? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanking_Massacre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanking_Massacre
If you can't understand a strategic decision to bring a war to an end and avoid a larger loss of life, I don't know what to tell you.
- timthelion 9y agoMy point is, that this "everything's fair in love and war" attitude is without moral basis. It's not magically OK to be evil just because you are at war, and using wartime tactics when you are not officially at war is not worse than doing them during a war.
- boomboomsubban 9y agoThe Japanese were in Nanking as part of a strategic decision to bring the war to a quick end, does that justify that massacre of civilians?
