Given the last 8 years of presidential ass kissing from the Obama Apology Tour that has turned my stomach time and time again I’m okay with this. Never apologize except to family.
Nothing really to apologize for. In August 1941, FDR cut them off from oil. He had probably moral reasons, but nonetheless, he cut them off from civilization’s lifeblood (the US was the Saudi Arabia of that time, big oil exporter).
His military said . . . the only place to get oil is Indonesia and for us to do that, the US Pacific Fleet must be neutralized.
So they attacked — and apparently only a snafu prevented them from delivering a declaration of war a few minutes before the attack.
They fought. They lost. Happens all the time. No need to apologize.
