Pearl Harbor's greatest lesson

Seventy-one years ago today the Imperial Japanese Navy launched a devastating, surprise attack against American naval forces at Pearl Harbor. That moment became the defining memory marker of a generation - much as the Kennedy assassination and 9/11 would become for later generations. Everyone of age to understand that Sunday morning would always remember where he or she was when the news crackled out of a radio or sprawled across the front page of a newspaper.

Dude, it happened; a most UNdude day. Let us not forget the nearly 3000 lives that were lost...

War is a real bummer dude. Why did Japan attack America? That's gotta be suicide.

Japan wanted to disable the USA's fleet in Hawaii, cause they knew the US would go to war with them at some point... the background to that is the US was cutting off Japan's oil supply in solidarity with China, whom Japan was at war with...

I remember someone on the tele saying 'Americans always go for the supply lines'. Seems like a good idea.
