Slagle - I don't think the demands on Japan were physically impossible, and they were not being asked to leave Formosa/Taiwan just China.

Freezing foreign bank accounts is legal, there were laws passed to World War I for this.

As for oil and gasoline, that was US oil & gas so what is the issue ?

Maybe Japan should have checked their resource base before trying to build an empire through conquest. That fact that the oil cut off put them in difficult strategic position does justify an attack on Hawaii or Java.

Maybe if they had not committed massive crimes in Nanking, they would not have had such hostile US public opinion. The Japanese Army even shocked the Nazi observers.

When Britian and France grabbed the Suez canal from Egypt, the United States and Russia told them to leave - and they did.

After Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, he was told to leave by everybody except Syria.

I agree with you that Roosevelt was trying to drag us into a war, but after the fall of France I don't think war was avoidable.

World War I was avoidable for the US, and should not have been involved with that war.
