That’s the word you used.
So was communism. But you're the one who took it utterly out of context and tried to turn it into the focus of the debate. I wont have that.

That statement goes for FUCK ANYONE. You cant just say that because communists were willing to mount suicide attacks against marines in Vietnam, and "terrorists" mount suicide attacks that they should be called "Islamic Viet Cong"
But I am right. Fascists get desperate and then they do desperate things. You asked me why Islamic Fascists blow themselves up then I ask you why the Nazis used child soldiers.
Yes you're right by that logic. However I'm also right to call them Islamic Viet Cong. And since the CSA used guerilla tactics in the civil war, I'm right to call them Islamic Confederat Cavalry. And since the Christians did mean things to Jews when they got desperate in teh crucades I'm right to call them Islamic Christians. When one assumes your logic to be right your conclusion is right. Problem is your logic is faulty.
Jefferson Davis, Le Duan and King Richard all used desperate tactics, and appealed to nationalism, pride and religion. Therefore they must all be fascists as well.

I was thinking more like Germany or Japan in 1945.
Thats good. I dont give a damn. I was talking about the difference in Arab "hey theres people in our country lets kill them" nationalism and Nazi "hey theres people who arent us, lets kill or enslave them" Then you come and point out that Nazi nationalism did, EVENTUALLY, end up with them trying to get people out of their country. See JM. See JM ignore that. Ignore JM, ignore.

Fascists believe in authoritarian ideals, they believe in a very strictly controlled economy and to limit personal freedom as much as possible. Islamic Fascists believe in authoritarian ideals, they believe in a very strictly controlled economy and to limit personal freedom as much as possible.
Youre right. Osama Bin Laden is clearly a fascist, strictly controlling the economy of his cave and limiting the personal freedom of... fuck, I dunno, a fucking goat or two maybe? You go ahead and worry about Mullah Ohmar ruling with an iron fist over a bombed out crater in Afghanistan. I'm not terribly concerned that they'll be storming through the Ardennes any time soon.
You and people like you started out by calling these people Islamic Radicals, Islamic Terrorists or Wahhabists or whatever. Then you realized that made it look like you hated Islam. So your lot moved on to this fascist utter bollocks. And look what a great thing this is now. See, when it was just "terrorists" we could only attack people who bombed places. But now that we're at war with Islamic Fascists we can include governments in their ranks too. Governments like, oh, say... fucking Iraq? Iran maybe? Gaza? It's super because this way we link those governments with Qaeda, and as a bonus link them to the Nazis all in the same breath. Double Plus Good Think, I say!

I never said it was good for Cuba/Iran/North Korea get nuked and invaded, its no skin of my back. That was not a solution by the way, I just stating that Americans need to be taught a lesson.
So its ok with you if Americans get blown up in a cruise missile strike. But its also ok with you if we nuke Cuba (a non beligerent nation without missile capabilities) Iran (a nation that has not ever attacked us) or North Korea? (the countries we've been picking on, which I guess is the reason you say we need to be taught a lesson) And its ok with you if people invade your home country as long as you'll be "better off". Is there anyone in the world you actually give a damn about?

They ran on oil from America and Indonesia. When American and the Allies declared the embargo, Japan decided to take Indonesia.
Ok. lets go with your scenario of US military buildup which will be presented as an AIM conversation.

Rozevel7rox: We r building up our army and navy 4 no reason
lol here have some oil friend!
Emper0r4life: Are u sure? Thats a lot of long range bombers and carriers u guys got
Rozevel7rox: Totally! BFF, right Japan?

Rozevel7rox: Hez a N00B he totally bought it.
IWINst0n: Good we can declare war and then take indonesia so they wont have any oil
Close session 1941
Session Start, 1941
Emper0r4life: Yo M0rEm0t0, those camping n00bs are going to declare war on us soon and probably stop giving us oil.
M0rEm0t0: Then we have to pwn Indonesia so they cant take all our oil.
Indakneesya: Has Entered the conversation
Indakneesya: Hey what r u guyz up to?
Emper0r4life: In your base, killin all your dudez ROFL.
So there you have it. The Japanese were going to occupy Indonesia either way. The only difference, as has already been stated, is that if we hadnt put an embargo on them they'd have been doing it with American fuel.
QUOTE
Now, I don’t think Japanese spies had access to remote military installations or training areas. I could be wrong.
Would not Lockheed and other defense contractors ramping up hiring and production be in papers? Would not massive military enlistment drives or a draft be public knowledge? It doesnt take James Bond to figure out when a nation is preparing for war on a global scale.
QUOTE
Did the embargo on Japan do anything except make more war? Err… no.
Yes. It made oil scarce so that they had to economize, maybe cut things back a bit. Also, if I'm an American oil worker and I'm pumping oil, I'd feel a tiny bit shitty when servicemen started to come home with ruts in them from where tanks running on my oil ran them over.
