They got what they deserved... And now we get along.
Japan paid a very heavy price for their aggression and the unspeakable cruelty they inflicted. We made them change their ways. Right now the world does hand wringing about what to do about the Palestinian “problem”. If one wants peace you have to make peace and sometimes the endeavor ain’t pretty.

Say what you want about FDR/Truman. They knew how to fight, and end, a war. Contrast that with George W. Bush’s behavior after our Pearl Harbor: the 9/11 attacks.
Bush chose a failed combination of appeasement (“Islam is peace”) and nation-building. And so the West is now NOT getting along with Islam. To the contrary, they are on the march and we are in retreat.
