Again I say, read Richard Maybury's books on war, especially the one on WW2. It explains everything you just said. I'd go into it, but I don't feel like writing a book about it.

PS: FDR didn't put Tojo in power. His actions, however, led to the downfall of the prior Japanese government and allowed Tojo to come to power.

Anyhoo, now that we've made it quite clear that we differ in opinion on just about everything in American history...

How are ya?
