Frankly speaking, it is not so difficult to understand the modern history of the United States.
The U.S. wanted to join the European Theater of WWII before the Pearl Harbor attack of December 1941.
It is still unknown how much the American Government and the American people then knew about large-scale silent attacks on Judaists by Nazi Germany.
But, when Nazi Germany occupied Paris in June 1940, started air raids on Great Britain in August 1940, and concluded the Three Axis Pact with Italy and the Empire of Japan in September 1940, some Americans must have started to think about a need to join the war in Europe in order to rescue the U.K. if not to save Judaists.
So, Nazi Germany and Hitler were careful not to provoke America. They even abandoned an idea of landing on Great Britain. Instead of demanding surrender of the U.K., Nazi Germany and Hitler started to invade the Soviet Union in June 1941, though without calling the Empire of Japan to any concerted military operation against the USSR.
As Nazi Germany and Hitler invaded Russia but not England, the U.S. could not find a reason for immediately joining the war in Europe. But, it is apparent that at this point the U.S. Government, but not the American people, got determined to join the war.
So, the U.S. wanted to join the European Theater of WWII before the Pearl Harbor attack of December 1941.
At the time, there are three parties working hard on the U.S. Government to lead America into participation in the war: the U.K., Judaists, and China, though China wanted the war between the U.S. and the Empire of Japan.
Finally, at some point in 1941, the U.S. Government got determined to join the war. For example, JFK joined the U.S. Navy several months before the Pearl Harbor Attack. And a news report that the Imperial Army advanced to South Vietnam taking over French ruling in July 1941 offended Washington and made angry President Roosevelt furiously, though Japanese occupation of Vietnam was based on an agreement with the French Government.

So, at the time, there were three parties working hard on the U.S. Government to lead America into participation in the war: Anglo-Saxons, Judaists, and Chinese.
Especially, Chinese elites and rich men intensified their lobbying activities for American involvement in the Japan-China war all the more.
Then, in November 1941, the U.S. Government sent the so-called Hull note to the Imperial Government in Tokyo, as a virtual ultimatum, since the U.S. Government had already pressed the Empire through oil/iron embargoes and forfeiture of Japanese assets in America, so that the Empire had no options left but total abandonment of its interest in China (as the Hull note so requested) or opening war with the U.S.

On November 25 Henry L. Stimson, United States Secretary of War noted in his diary that he had discussed with US President Roosevelt the severe likelihood that Japan was about to launch a surprise attack, and that the question had been "how we should maneuver them [the Japanese] into the position of firing the first shot without allowing too much danger to ourselves.'"[2][3]
On the following day, November 26, 1941, Hull presented the Japanese ambassador with the Hull note, which as one of its conditions demanded the complete withdrawal of all Japanese troops from French Indochina and China. It did not refer to Manchukuo, in which hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians were already living. Japanese Prime Minister Tojo Hideki said to his cabinet, "this is an ultimatum."

Accordingly the Pearl Harbor Attack was carried out, though the U.S. Government and President Roosevelt thought the Imperial Navy would attack U.S. military bases and General MacArthur in the Philippines, while General MacArthur was not worried about air raids by the Imperial air squadrons from their Taiwan bases. They did not know that the Imperial Navy had already introduced the Zero fighter plane that could fly over 3,000 km, from a land base or an aircraft carrier.
The Empire of Japan launched a surprise attack as the U.S. Government and President Roosevelt had expected, but not on U.S. bases in the Philippines but in Hawaii, not by naval gunfire but by several aircraft carriers and more than three hundreds of fighter planes. And, soon after the Pearl Harbor attack, 200 Imperial fighter planes and bombers sortied over the South China Sea from Taiwan to American bases in the Philippines; losing 100 planes, General MacArthur had instantly lost superiority in the sky and over the sea.
Yet, from the beginning, the U.S. wanted to join the European Theater of WWII before the Pearl Harbor attack of December 1941.
After three years and eight months of fierce battles beyond human imagination (with kamikaze tactics and atomic bombs), the Empire of Japan surrendered and the WWII ended, as everybody knows.
Then, the U.S. wanted to join the civil war in Vietnam before the JFK assassination of November 1963.
After almost 12 years of fierce battles using full of modern weapons (but preventing direct involvement of China and the USSR), the U.S. pulled out of Vietnam and the Vietnam War ended, as everybody knows.
Then, the U.S. wanted to join the de-facto war between Israel and anti-Israeli Muslims before the World Trade Center & Pentagon attacks of September 2001.
After almost nine years, the main stage of the War on Anti-Israeli Terrorists has just shifted from Iraq to Afghanistan, as everybody knows.

Today, if Americans read the Japanese Constitution (in English), they would not think that they could draft it so wisely and ideally. But, Americans in 1940's could do. Americans have changed so much since WWII. The American ideal those Americans cherished around 1945 was gone out of their mind.
Specifically, an influence of Judaists on the American politics and economy was not so salient and outstanding around 1945. America was without doubt a Puritan nation around 1945, no matter whatever degree it was to. But, after WWII, drastically America changed its religious landscape absorbing spirits of modern Judaism. A half-Judaist/half-Christian American cannot write, for example, a draft of the Japanese Constitution like the one some full-Christian Americans did after WWII.
For the WWII, the great tragedy of European Judaists was one of major causes.
For the Vietnam War, development of a great influence of American Judaists, such as Mr. Kissinger, was one of major background conditions, while Catholic President JFK was eventually assassinated, paving the way for the rise of Mr. Kissinger and the likes.
For the War on Terror, the Israeli-American alliance is a major underlying factor, though the Bushes and the likes have had a strong tie with Islamic elites of Saudi Arabia and so on. Even, President Mr. Barack Obama has been under an influence of Judaists very casually, if not intended for any specific causes unusual for ordinary Americans.

What I want to emphasize is that history still holds and uses Judaists as a key element by connecting them to the super-power America.
But, as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, in addition to Judaistic philosophy such as Marxism, have prevailed all over the world, all the more Japan has become unique.
(Even China and North Korea are technically based on Marxism; India needs lessons from socialism.)
Accordingly, Japan must coexist with the world, since it has the Constitution framed by the American-Christian democratic ideal or the democratic ideal implanted through American Christians after WWII.
(As for the Article 9 issue, namely implication that Japan should surrender if once invaded by foreign forces without making war and resorting to Japan's military forces, it is invalid technically since it denies the existence of Japan and thus the existence of the Constitution itself. It is a suicidal article. So, it should be interpreted as requesting power to defend Japan different from that used in the era of WWII. It could be diplomatic power, economic power, technological power, cultural power, ethical power, or any power. New Japanese defence machine and systems must be subject to them, so that the Article 9 will not find any Army, Navy, and Air Forces, run by the Government based on the concept of the era of WWII, to apply to. And, Japan will be defended not through war but through exercise of such power. For example, before the Chinese military invades Japan, 400 million Chinese would stand against the Chinese Communist Party to topple its ruling if Japan exercises such power. This level of paradigm change is requested by the Article 9.)

I do and did not especially find glory in the movie "Gone with the Wind."
But, the fact that it was produced before WWII gave me a kind of shock always, since it was in 1970's that I first fully saw the movie, though no Japanese film makers in those days seemed to be able to present this scale of story on the screen in Japan while almost 30 years had passed since 1945.)
Mat 8:7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
Mat 8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
Mat 8:9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
Mat 8:10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
