Fabs, I have to take issue with some of your post. The fact that we were at peace with Japan, and were in fact in a diplomatic dialog with their representatives at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack does not indicate 'arrogance' to me.
I do have a big issue with the terrorist method of waging 'war'. Their intent is not to free their Country. Their sole intent is to make sure that they, and no one else, will be in control of Iraq in the years to come, and that they, and no one else, will have control of Iraq's oil revenue. They are thugs, criminals, and guileless murders. I have no respect either for the Japanese (or German) motives or conduct in WW II. I make no apologies for Allied conduct in WW II, like some that would re write history. Can you imagine how that history would read if Hitler had won? We probably would not have the ability to have this conversation. The German people put Hitler in power, supported him, and then said/ did nothing while he raped Europe and the Russians. They full well deserved what they receivied.
