I'm not referring to the war on terror. I highly doubt that your govt would do such a thing today.(The politics of today would not allow for it) Still however that is rather sad what happened to your country back then. Their are people that value freedom and will fight for it. I can never ever imagine a modern democracy just giving it up just because they do not want to fight. Especially the North American countries.
Over here we place a high value on it. So yes, it was right to respond to the Japanese destroying our fleet and threatening our territories, yes it was right to invade Europe after Hitler declared war on us, yes it was right to invade Kuwait and free them from Iraqi invaders. Again I'm not advocating war for its sake, But when your choice is either roll over or fight, I choose to fight.
