This information is fine and all, but only if you accept the incorrect assumption that the Japanese didn't want to surrender. They did, but not in the way the politicians of the allies were willing to accept.

Moreover, Japan were the aggressors. Their unprovoked attack of Pearl Harbor demonstrated they were not to be trusted.

No, the Japan attack at Pearl Harbor was America's ticket into WW2 (with support from the American people). The moment they embargoed such an agressive Japan's oil, they knew and wanted them to attack.

Basically, they were provoked.
