In a way, yes.
The reason the USA (with the Allied Forces) won WWII, was because "we" sunk to the level of the Japanese; we became exactly as "evil" as we imagined them to be. We committed a so-called atrocity against them, and twice, so they could learn a most valuable lesson: You do not have sex with the USA, period, and if you do, you will get back double from us, what you gave us.
They attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and we responded with two attacks on them; at Hiroshima & again at Nagasaki, so there would be no doubt at all in their minds that we were not gonna mess around with them. We were tired of fighting (and not winning) and we'd had enough.
US Army Gen. William Westmoreland (1914-2005), who commanded American military operations in the Vietnam War at its peak from 1964 to 1968, once said, paraphrased, "It isn't the 'job' of American forces to fight wars; it is their job to WIN wars." And US Army Gen. George S. Patton (1885-1945) said, verbatim, "No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."
When the USA was attacked on September 11, 2001, "President Doofus" should have immediately responded by attacking Tehran, Iran, until that city resembled the Lunar surface. The USA should never have agreed to not use nuclear weapons, because they get the job done.
One time, my dog bit me so hard, he drew blood from my hand, and I had done nothing at all to him, to deserve that. After putting a muzzle on him, I picked up his paw, put it in my mouth and bit down hard on it, until I drew some blood of my own, and he yelped in pain.
He learned a very valuable lesson from me that day, and never again did he bite me.
Allow me to again quote someone, by using the words of the fictional Chicago police officer, Jim Malone, who told Federal Prohibition Agent Eliot Ness, regarding US Gangster Alphonse Capone, "You wanna know how to get Capone? They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send TEN of HIS to the morgue! That's the Chicago way! And that's how you get Capone."
My hero!
