Yeah, just like after the Japanese bombed harbor. We evolved into a big bully with no restraint pretty quick. And thank God for that.
Iraq has never attacked the United States, we have bombed Iraq for the past twelve years. We armed Iraq in the eighties, Rumsfeld was one of our representatives, perhaps complicit in any crimes of the Iraqi regime.
BTW, Rumor has it that U.S. sanctions on Japan were part of FDR's plan to bring America into WWII.
