All true, except that the Japanese were waging an aggressive war of

them their heads), which helped them decide to fight the United States 
and Britain, taking the "Southern Strategy" because they thought we 
would be easier to knock out of a war.  It was probably impossible to 
avoid conflict with the Japanese without ceding them hegemony over Asia 
and the Western Pacific.

Ahhh. Hegemony. I love that word, but seldom get to use it. You'd think 
that as an American, I'd get to use it a lot, wouldn't you?
But, I'm only a citizen, not an outsider critical of everything the U.S. 
does.

Yes, no doubt in my mind, the word was created for the U.S. and it's 
foreign policies...

sighhh.
