No, but US active participation began after Pearl Harbor.

Correct, but you originally said:

you fellas have concluded the US started WWII

But I've read about the Rape of Nanking and the Japanese activities seem to have been a bit more blood-thirsty than most other colonial powers. </i.

Well, a bit more bloodthirsty is perhaps true. But, it's not like the American conquest of the Philippines (to take one example) was a picnic.
