December 8, 1941 if we had this clown in office:
“December 7 - a date that will hopefully be eventually forgotten as an aberration of history — a minor error started from a misunderstanding of some value differences.
“We must remember the Japanese are a good and kind people who mean us no harm. The acts of a few radical pilots, guided by a single man should in no way be seen as an act against us by these kind and peace-loving people.
“I and my administration will begin discussions with the Japanese diplomats so we can come to an understanding on how we can understand their anger and what we did to engender it.
“Likewise, I am in discussions with my fellow peace-loving heads of state Neville Chamberlain and Philippe Pétain to see what will be needed to satisfy the the aggressive new minority Nazi regime emerging in Germany.
“I am sure that Americans will see the Japanese and German peoples and their leaders as peaceful and of no reason for concern.
“With diplomacy and discussion we will be able to convince these governments to stay their aggressive courses.”
EXCELLENT work!
