On President Roosevelt and Japan

a) It is clear from the diaries of Tugwell, Moley, etc. that Roosevelt wanted war with Japan as early as 1933.............b) It is also clear that the Roosevelt administration had been engaged in economic warfare (a total embargo pertaining to oil. steel, and scrap iron, a freezing of Japanese assets, etc.) against the Japanese in the months leading up to Pearl Harbor.............c) We also now know with certitude that the Japanese had been trying for months to normalize relations with America and that Roosevelt had rejected each and every one of their overtures.............d) On January 27, 1941, the President received a confidential communication from his ambassador in Japan, Joseph Grew, that the Japanese military plan was ultimately to attack Pearl Harbor.............e) American code-breakers were able to intercept a great deal of information and it was obvious that an attack on either Pearl Harbor or the Philippines was at the very minimum a possibility.............f) Roosevelt's policy was one of unconditional surrender, a policy that Truman inherited and adhered to, and a policy that was responsible for the needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians.............g) And in one of the most egregious violations of civil liberties in U.S. history, Roosevelt proceeded to round up and intern tens of thousands of Japanese-Americans (most of them citizens) and kept them there for the duration of the war.
