Seeing as how the Japanese were almost forced to enter the war, and the millions of casualties (innocent, unarmed mostly casualties), I can't say I'm too happy about them.

Wait, how were they forced into war? Huh?

Unless you meant the Japanese people by their government. 

My bad, I meant to say they were forced to clash with the US specifically, as they were already at war with the Chinese (from Wikipedia):

"German successes in Europe encouraged Japan to increase pressure on European governments in south-east Asia. The Dutch government agreed to provide Japan oil supplies from the Dutch East Indies, while refusing to hand over political control of the colonies. Vichy France, by contrast, agreed to a Japanese occupation of French Indochina.^[115] The United States, United Kingdom, and other Western governments reacted to the seizure of Indochina with a freeze on Japanese assets, while the United States (which supplied 80 percent of Japan's oil^[116]) responded by placing a complete oil embargo.^[117] That meant Japan was essentially forced to choose between abandoning its ambitions in Asia and the prosecution of the war against China, or seizing the natural resources it needed by force; the Japanese military did not consider the former an option, and many officers considered the oil embargo an unspoken declaration of war.^[118]  "

Basically, the oil embargo, forced Japan to either back out of China, or assault the US directly.
