You are the poster child for why so few people take the Libertarian Party seriously. I mean just......Wow.
I have no affiliation with the Libertarian party.
But aside from the personal remarks, can you clarify which bit you disagree with? Do you deny that the Chinese and Filipinos had a right to self-defense? Do you claim that Japan
was going to
annex Australia and Hawaii? I'm not at all sure what you're. trying to say.

No, I'm not saying Japan was trying to annex Australia and Hawaii (although that may have been part of their plan) but, they
did attack Hawaii along with much of the Pacific rim, which suggests it wasn't beyond the realm of possibility.
The thing that boggles my mind is, how can someone suggest we ignore what they were doing simply because they (other than Hawaii) they hadn't attack the U.S. proper directly? Besides the fact they were fighting a war of conquest for many years before we even got involved.
So we should just sit around and let them (along with Germany, with whom they had the Axis treaty ) attack and take over all of Asia and Europe. Wait till they land in Connecticut and California, then pull our shotguns and hunting rifles out of the closet and fight them on our own soil.
I have to admit it would have saved us a lot of money on that Marshall plan deal because we would have been too occupied trying to rebuild our own country we couldn't have afforded to help anyone else rebuild.
Mike and several others have pointed out to you why we got involved, but you still insist non-aggression (Neville Chamberlain) is the answer.
As for whether I believe the Filipinos and the Chinese did not have a right to self defense, WTH are you talking about? Where did I say anything like that? Now you're just trying to twist the debate around to confuse the issue (misdirection) to keep everyone else on the defensive.
Thats how this thread and just about every other political thread you get involved in gets turned away from the actual topic
Re: Libertarian Party sign up into a Libertopia rant by you (who has no affiliation with the Libertarian Party).
I may not be as articulate as some at expressing my views, however, I do know when somebody is blowing smoke up my hiney and so do most of the other people on this board.
