Don't appologize on our behalf, and most certainly don't put words in our mouths, thanks anway.
Death Tolls are always terrible price to pay for war. Many many many men lost their lives in the attacks on pearl harbor, and if we hadn't put an end to the offensive the way we did - the Japanese would have exacted a toll on our civilians far greater than we did on theirs. That's war, if you don't understand that - then you're the fucking idiot.
Now everyone knows the power we wield and they think twice about fucking with us.
