After Pearl Harbor, they would have apologized to Japan for provoking the attack by being racially and culturally insensitive to their need to dominate the world along with Nazi Germany.

Where are these turn-the-other-cheek liberals? I see no pacifist types in power anywhere.
Contrary to how many conservatives try to paint liberals, they are not all lovey-dovey when it comes down to it. Even Obama has engaged in war and he is liberal. He has been way more active in killing people than many liberals know about or like to admit.
Clinton passed on OBL due to collateral damage issues (years prior to 9/11-Thanks,(sar) Bill), as has Obama in assisting retaking ISIS cities.
Libs today are truly pacifists even at the risk of future US casualties.
Truman wasn't; didn't blink an eye about 250,000 humans as collateral damage b/w Tokyo raids, and 2 atom bombs. (FDR would no doubt have blinked!!)
FDR was a close to a tyrant as we've had in this country (thankfully still pretty far) and a true progressive. On economic issues he'd be to the left of most everyone in politics today. The question seems so ignorant as to feel phony, like asking about what kind of gun Jesus would use.
War is a necessary evil, and had Clinton taken out OBL when he easily could have, 9/11 and the war to follow most likely does not occur. Had the world taken on Hitler faster, millions who died in WWII live.
The concept of caring about enemy casualties is IMO an act of Treason. AS General Flynn stated well, "War is about winning". Truman acted properly, even if it meant more Japanese died. All that should have mattered was "Would fewer American soldiers die"?
The pc collateral damage nonsense was pushed on this nation by liberals.

This is what a alternate history may have turned out.
Peace with Nazi Germany and the Jewish Issue would been swept under the carpet. Adolf Hitler would continue to Govern Germany and Fascist Italy would control the Med. and the vast oil reserves of the Middle east. Vicy France would still rule and control Tunisia and Morocco and take control of Gibraltar .
Europe would of been under Nazi Rule.
Imperial Japan would of rules the Pacific and be controlled vast areas under the Hirohito (1901-1989) and PM Hideki Tojo under the code of the samurai.
Those sites were controlled by Japan and Americans died fighting Japanese soldiers there. This had nothing to do with pussyfooting around, it would not have been good strategy in the early phase to try a major direct assault on Japan. Taking those islands first made it possible.
What wound up making the end of the war possible were the firebombings of Tokyo and Dresden, and of course Hiroshima and Nagasaki. At the very least Iwo Jima was in irresponsible and needless bloodbath.
