Ran across an interesting memo referred to in a Dec. 22nd, 1941 Time magazine. It was written ten years before Pearl Harbor was attacked: "It was over a decade ago that the Japanese General Kiokatu Sato wrote a credo to which Admiral Yamamoto would certainly lend his every nerve: "If we do not break the ambitions of the American people and do not punish it for its unfairness, our souls will know no peace, even when they leave this world. We fought China for Korea. We fought Russia for Manchuria. The circumstances will oblige us to fight America. The war between Japan and the United States is the inevitable fate of our nation.... "The fury rises in our hearts...." Goto: World Battlefronts: Yamamoto v. the Dragon - TIME (p.4)
