"Thank God Roosevelt and Churchill didn't go to war this way."

Actually, if memory serves, English appeasers let Hitler take over most of Europe before they responded and FDR waited until we had lost 80% of our Navy at Pearl Harbor before he reacted. Even then, there was a huge anti-war movement in the US. Fortunately, after the Pearl Harbor attack FDR just told the peaceniks to go away and perform an impossible act of self gratification.

Not Churchill tho'.

And, for my money, an attack on NYC qualifies as a Pearl Harbor.
