You know what's really sad? The fact that so many college age stupids today think the attack on Pearl Harbor was the natural response to American aggression. If you continue that argument with college stupids they will tell you that the Attack on Europe was unwarranted as well. They say that just because Hitler was developing the "America bomber" didn't mean he intended to use it.
We're producing morons at an alarming rate.
For me, one of the most poignant passages of the book "Flags of Our Fathers" is the part where James Bradley talks about being in college, studying in Japan, and being "educated" about the "real" causes of WWII...American cultural insensitivity and agression against a Japan just trying to earn a living.
The way his father, who had fought on Iwo Jima, just looked at him, nodded his head, but didn't say anything. After all he went through, to hear that coming out of the mouth of his son must have been tough. Hmm. Not much different than what is taught to students today in some places.
It is criminal what is taught as history today.
