« The Peter Principle | Main | Fraud and Turnout » December 07, 2002Remember Pearl Harbor61 years ago today, Japanese aircraft struck at the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor and other American military bases on Oahu. The surprise was near total. Three hours after the attack began, more than 2,000 Americans were dead, more than 1,000 entombed in the remains of the USS Arizona, and the United States had been plunged into the deadliest war in history. Today we are running short of Pearl Harbor survivors, as the event grows ever dimmer in our memory. If you know any Pearl Harbor survivors, or even just someone who was alive that grim Sunday, take some time to talk to them about what they remember. We should never forget the damage done by a combination of isolationism and ill-preparedness. We must always remember Pearl Harbor. Posted at December 7, 2002 10:09 PM
Comment policyI apologize for only allowing authenticated commenters, but comment spam overwhelms the site if I don't use those measures to prevent it. I reserve the right to delete any comment, although generally comments will only be deleted due to use of profanity or personal attacks on people. I have no objection to vigorous argument, but when name-calling begins, I'm putting a stop to it. In the immortal words of Eugene Levy, "People, people, let's stop this before somebody says something untrue!" If you want to call people names, I recommend you get your own blog.
