      But if it hadn't been for the US supplying arms, munitions, tanks,   
   ships, food, etc none of that would have happened.    
      
   > Japan was separate from WW2 -- that was a private economic+power struggle   
   disagreement between Japan & USA.  Japan gave written two week notice before   
   attacking Poearl Harbor. (a military target; Nagasaki & Hiroshima had no   
   military bases)   
      
     Japan had been overrunning Asia since 1931.   
     Japan had no coal or oil (to speak of), which ran its manufacturing,      
   whereas other parts of Asia did.   
     The warnings were rather cryptic (somewhere, someday) and our military   
   leaders didn't think carriers would be used to launch air attacks.  Their   
   collective eyes were on Australia and Philippines, not expecting a end run   
   "behind the lines on Hawaii.   
      While Nagasaki and Hiroshima had no military bases they were   
   manufacturing areas.  To help end any war knock out the places the bombs, etc   
   were   
   made.   
     The US also gave warnings of the attacks with Japan ignored.  They still   
   ignored the warnings after Nagasaki, believing the A Bomb was just  a bigger   
   bomb and we had only one.  When the second hit they started to change their   
   minds.   
          
   > Japan was in the South Pacific separate from WW2.  It was all part of the   
   oingoing Sino-Japanese wars that were of no defense concern to the West.   
      
     Japan also threatened the West's supply of rubber for one thing.
