- 1123581321 7y agoThis write-up wasn’t bad. I take issue with the title: Pearl Harbor was an act of war, so there was no “justice” in killing enemies who planned or fought in the battle (nor was there anything wrong with doing it.) The author further confused by turning to the subject of drone strikes, which are only controversial because they are not carried out as part of an actual war.

- 1123581321 7y agoTrue, but the key is that it wasn't civilian murder or terrorism. We did try Japanese leaders for the timing after the war, so perhaps the term justice is appropriate for that aspect of Pearl Harbor, but the actual military planning was appropriate.
