Wrong. The Duke of Wellington said "there is always a time to cut cards with the devil." If we are not (and we weren't) ready to go to war; did not have the bases; did not have the men in place; then the UN was a useful foil to make us appear "reasonable" and "concerned" until we ARE ready to strike. We can learn a lot from the Iron Duke.

Ah...it is NOT wrong. Why do they sign the articles of surrender, so they can auction the pen used to sign them to the highest bidder? I suppose McArthur had the Japanese aboard the USS Missouri for a photo op? You break just ONE article of surrender, and the conquering army can go back into battle as if it NEVER ceased. Choose to ignore historical fact if you please, doesn't make your point correct.
