About the unforgivable sin that the Americans are trying to erase. I don't see how that is relevent to what you think of Americans now since no one is willing to see how Americans saved EVERYONE'S asses in WWII.
To be fair, America took its sweet time when it came to WWII. Really, the only reason the US entered is because Japan attacked Pearl Harbor (which we were actually asking for). We may have "saved everyone's asses," but it's not like we did it because we cared deeply for the other countries. If we did, we would have stepped in as soon as shit started getting intense. Which was long before Pearl Harbor.
Of course, it wasn't necessarily the government that didn't want to step in. The American people themselves didn't want to go to war, for the most part. In that respect, the Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor was a good thing, because it pissed off the American citizens, who then gave the OK to go to war.
