Good point. With all the commies around FDR,anything was possible. God bless Joe McCarthy.
Tora! Tora! Tora! is on tonight. One scene shows the Japanese being told FDR asking to met with them to avoid war and the Japanese laughing that it was too late.
The truth was the opposite. Prime Minister Konoye asked for a meeting with FDR so he could undermine the Naval forces which wanted war. FDR, on the advice of his Soviet advisors, rejected a meeting.
