The war didn't get a moral parameter until the Janaese attacked on Dec 7, 1941.

It think it would be more appropriate to say the war didn't get a moral parameter "for Americans" until the Jappanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

Even then, a large minority thought the war should be fought exclusively against Japan and let the Europeans deal with their own problem. It took an awful lot of masterful propaganda by Churchill and Roosevelt to change that. Was the persuasive propaganda moral?
