I liked the quote in "Tora! Tora! Tora" attributed to admiral Yamamoto:
"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with
a terrible resolve"

I did not see the movie but it was playing in Germany when I was
stationed there in 1970.

Anyway is that is what Yamamoto said he was damn right.
