I think there is a major difference in the enemy. Pearl Harbor was attacked by a definable government coming from a particular place. There was no question who we were fighting.

I agree.

This time around, we are being attacked by a nebulous enemy with no borders, no ID cards and no uniform. Who the enemy actually is, and the definition of victory, depends on who you ask, and there is no one person who can declare it to be over and surrender. We are fighting an ethos not a country.

I have to disagree with you on this. We know who are the major exporters of this type of "ethos". Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria, SAUDIA ARABIA, all of these countries provide the people the money and the impetus for the terrorists to do what they do.

The enemy is definable, in fact our president has defined them. I just don't see a willingness to go after them with everything we have.

I understand your point, but we can't just attack all the Muslim nations.... we have to go after the actual terrorists, and the countries that refuse to stop harboring them. We can't just blow Mecca off the face of the earth, it really wouldn't help us.
