RE: Get over it, we weren't at the heart of World War II

According to what I have heard, Fuchida's book contains enough errors (intentional or otherwise) that it is a dubious source at best. (See Shattered Sword by Parshall for a critique of Midway).

Also, I don't think anyone said they didn't have a plan for invading Australia, just that it wasn't ever seriously considered to put the plan in action. Heck, the US had a plan for fighting a war with Japan in the 30's. As you pointed out yourself, the Navy came up with a plan to invade Australia, but it required help from the IJA. And that just wasn't going to happen in April-May 1942. The IJA didn't get serious about the South Pacific until it was way too late.
