Japanese had killed so many civilians from other countries. They did not do any harm to Japan. So what?

Following your logic: "America had killed so many civilians from other countries..."
The United States has done a lot of wrong in the world, and has taken many innocent lives.

It has not done anything near the magnitude of Imperial Japan or Nazi Germany.

If the United States engaged in _true_, genocide, killed millions, or annexed other countries, then I would fully support a war against it.

I don't believe that the United States has done more wrong than good in its existence purely because of the atrocities of the Axis.

2 wrong does not make 1 right
Yeah, that is pretty much Ethics 101. I think it's time to bring back ethics lessons in schools.
Ethics is a great intellectual exercise.

Ethics does nothing to protect the innocent.

This is the logic terrorist groups use.
