This. Or to put it another way - Winston Churchill said this in 1901:

"The wars of peoples will be more terrible than those of kings."

German actions and Japanese actions where enabled by the people in those countries. Less, in truth, in Japan then in Germany, but still there.

Yamamoto could have resigned.
