Re: Sleeping giant

The quote is from Admiral Yamamoto, the architect of the Pearl Harbor attack. Amid the celebration of the attack's "success" Yamamoto presciently observed "I fear all we have done is waken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."

The full story is excellently portrayed in the movie Tora! Tora! Tora!

"Like the Japanese" maybe that will help you in the determination of the origin.

P.S. why are you still posting to me? you promised that you would put me on ignore if I made one more post to you, which I did so that you would do just that.
