but by 1945 all these threats were gone.

Yep. We knocked the stuffing out of the enemy and they gave up.

todays 'liberals' transplanted to 1941 would be asking 'Why do the Japanese hate us?

Maybe, but that's neither here nor there. This is not WWII. Your comparison doesn't hold up on the question of feasibility of a military victory. If we were at war with Muslim national armies in a conventional war and if we were prepared to blast all those countries until they cried uncle, then you'd have a valid comparison.

A better comparison with what we're doing now is swatting at a hornet's nest, never a good idea.
