cowboyway: "To even attempt to compare Pearl Harbor to Fort Sumter is ludicrous..."

No, Pearl Harbor is an exact analogy, as is the US base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, or British forts on US Northwest Territory for 30+ years before the War of 1812.
In all cases, an attack on US forces by an enemy military power was, or would be, an act of war against the United States.
In the case of those British forts, the US wisely let them be, until negotiated away in 1814.
By sharp contrast, Confederate President Davis used Fort Sumter as his excuse for foolishly launching war against the United States.

Those are simple facts, not even debatable.

Or not.

You can keep repeating your lies over and over but you can't turn a lie into truth. You can only attempt to brainwash the weak minded and to continue to bolster your own foolish position.

Or not.

Lincoln revisionist, 0bama revisionist: same same.
