I don't buy that. There were more US casualties than Pearl Harbor, and in fact terror bombings are used as a strategic weapon against civilian populations. Sort of like a V2 rocket with feet.

But in Pearl Harbor they SUNK OUR FLEET! It was a military victory. Killing 3,000 civilians doesn't change the facts that we could fold their armies like a lawn chair. Sinking our Pacific fleet gave Japan an actual fighting chance in WWII (not much of one, as Yakamoto told them 'we will run wild in the east for a few years, then the industrial power of America would be brought to bear and we will loose').

So what have you ever done to defend America? or are you a closet jihadist? Or just a gum flapper?
