OT: December 7, 1941.....
http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/events/wwii-pac/pearlhbr/pearlhbr.htm
There are too many in this world who forget or don't know the reasons why 12/7/41 happened. And we let it happen again in 2001....
Too often we sink in to the appeasement mode. Just be nice to evil and it will go away... treat it with "respect" and it'll play nicely.... Give the doggie a bone and hopefully it won't come back for the meat...
But doggies get bigger...and bolder. and pretty soon you offer the bone, and they take the hand.
The same can be said of the 30s and 40s. And history came back and took a chunk of hand, arm, and the heart of the people. Lest we forget, and let something else like that happen again.... Ditto for 9/11, which should have been a global wakeup call. I just hope people aren't just hitting the snooze button.....

Well, I think we did actually learn some lessons from WWII - thank god. The corrupt UN is looking more and more like the innept League of Nations (from pre-WWII) - this time round we went into Iraq BEFORE it became an international problem (ALA Germany 1930's). Great post tho SLug!.

NEVER forget - thats how you LEARN from history. Those that forget are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.
