If we had the same gang in power back then that we have now, we would of lost that war. Even the Democrat in that day was better than we have now.

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks indcons. Pearl Harbor day, all. FDR's opening sentence in his address to Congress the next day *may* be the most memorable one of the 20th century, IMHO. Audio.

More FDR, worth remembering and taking to heart today:

"No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again." *

I was hoping someone started a Pearl Harbor thread so I could vent my spleen on it.

Up early, turned on the History Channel to see if anybody besides me gave a chit about Pearl Harbor Day. Sure enough, there was the familiar sight of the Arizona with crowds of tourists, etc.

But as I listened, it hit me (1st cup of coffee) that they weren't talking about the loss of the men and women who died that day, they weren't talking about the perfidious Nips plunging the United States into almost five years of bloody combat around the world, no, no and no.

They had a much more important subject to discuss: the looming ecological disaster the Arizona will cause as it gradually degrades in place!

I'm lucky I still have a TV! And whatever History Channel exec who ran that chit is sooo lucky they weren't within arms reach... I'll be seeing red for days over this.

Maybe I'm just a grumpy old fart. :O(

During the Reagan Administration, there was a massive study about the state of our public schools that stated that if a foreign power had been the cause, we would have considered it an act of war.

Was it not, indeed, virtually so?

My wife considers 12/7 her personal Pearl Harbor day.

Thats the day I took my first flying lesson over 30 years ago.
