end of history class. don't look up the mccollum memo, whatever you do.

it's like if i go over to nich's house...start playing incredibly loud music, start banging on all of his walls...he comes out and tells me to stop, i start spray painting his house and kicking his dog, he finally decks me...i get up and yell, oh my god, did you see him hit me! how dare him!
Pisspants got up on the wrong side of the world again I see. Instead of looking of ways to prove that the U.S. is a bunch of pricks maybe you should dig a little deeper.

McCollum Memo:
A. Make an arrangement with Britain for the use of British bases in the Pacific, particularly Singapore.
B. Make an arrangement with Holland for the use of base facilities and acquisition of supplies in the Dutch East Indies [now Indonesia].
C. Give all possible aid to the Chinese government of Chiang Kai-shek.
D. Send a division of long-range heavy cruisers to the Orient, Philippines, or Singapore.
E. Send two divisions of submarines to the Orient.
F. Keep the main strength of the US Fleet, now in the Pacific, in the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands.
G. Insist that the Dutch refuse to grant Japanese demands for undue economic concessions, particularly oil.
H. Completely embargo all trade with Japan, in collaboration with a similar embargo imposed by the British Empire (Stinnett 8)

Now why oh why would we do that to the poor Japaneese?:

Now unrestrained by the recommendations of the League of
Nations, Japan continued itâ??s intrusion onto Chinese soil. By 1937
Japan had moved military forces into Beijing, Shanghai, and Nanjing,
as well as other regions of China. By 1940, Japanese seizure of
territory had spread to deep inside Southeast Asia and even parts of
Australia (Sutel et al). Also in 1940, the Triparte Pact was signed,
allying Japan, Germany, and Italy into a powerful force that stretched
halfway around the planet.

You also forgot to mention that Henry Ford was also a big supporter of the Nazi Party! But of course the main emphisis should be that Prescott Bush was envolved...RIGHT!

"hitler's like so bad and stuff " You are one sick little bitch!!!
