@ Billy,
Apparently my response didn't post, so I'll try again. First, America didn't simply "help" and decimate the Japanese in WWII. If you've studied the history, you'll know that Japan, Germany, and Italy all declared war upon America first. In fact, Japan DID weigh the consequences prior to declaring war upon the US in WWII and was warned by Admiral Isoruku Yamamoto to avoid conflict with the US and if he was commanded to fight the US they would have at best 6 months to a year of success. He did not consider the war as a favorable position for the Japanese to take, but he was greatly opposed in Japan for his warnings and many tried to kill him for it. America may have tried to maintain a facade of isolationism, but failed once other nations declared war upon the US. The matter of Iwo Jima, you are incorrect to say that no shots were fired. The bombing of Iwo Jima did not produce the results that "fire" (napalm) bombings of Dresden (Germany) did. After 70 days of bombing, almost 3 days of naval assaults on the island - the US barely made a dent in the Japanese defenses. It was a bloody battle, with heavy losses on the side of the Americans, in fact - they barely made it at all. Thus once they did, they were instructed to raise the flag, they then put up a bigger one, and then that famous photo was taken.It's condensed, but these are the facts as historians have been able to verify from all sources. It's not interpretation. There is a difference.America wasn't "tricked" into a war. We responded, because war was brought upon us.

@ Billy, America entered the war, because Japan, Germany, and Italy FIRST declared war on America. That is a fact. Perhaps you should read some more history and quit running the bad grammar type. Is America innocent in war? No, NO nation is. Do nations take advantage of the situations wars present? Of course they do. America isn't alone in that. It's funny how Americans act like other nations are noble and up standing. They're no more honorable than we are. In so far as some from every nation possess noble characteristics and some do not. That is the way of humanity. It does not mean America is MORE or less wrong.

Well yes America sacrificed in this war, but it was not our war and WE did not win. It was Russia and the rest of Europe that won. Yes we helped but again it was not our war. Our war in WWII was against the japs and yes that battle we won.

April 18,1942,Doolittle took off with 16 ,B25 Mitchels,from the Aircraftcarrier USS HORNETT,to bomb Tokyo.

Right Jeremy,They were B25's twin engine,Dolittles Tokyo Raiders,They took off from aircraft carriers,So you are NOT correct about that.Google it and learn something,Jeremy.
