Is this supposed to be a list of all the greatest presidents or just the greatest within peoples lifetimes?
If it is the former, we should list Washington and Lincoln as well.
Also the actuall descision and command to attack Pearl Horbor probably rested only with a few individuals at the top of the Chain of command in Imperial Japan.
I would not blame all Japanese for the descisions of those few anymore then I would blame all Jews for what some corrupt Israeli politician does.
Now as a country we were at war with, it was certainly right and proper to vilify them as much as possible and view them as the enemy, to be smashed to bits and to violently hate.
But now that the war is over, to hate their descendents would be like the antisemites who lie about what “the Jews” supposedly did to their guy who falsly claimed to be G-d, and then blaming Jews today for it even if it were true (and it wasn’t and isn’t).
Also remember some of them helped save many Jews escaping from the nazis in Europe who eventually made their way to Shanghai China which was controlled by the Japanese till the end of the war (even though after about 6 months or so as I remember a video about it saying, the Japs did put the Jews into a type of Ghetto at the insistance of their allies, the Nazis, Yerach Shmo).
