They shoulda thought of that before they bombed the harbor.

Now they get to listen to jets take off all day every day.

XD... I had a great pic of a bunch of C-17s flying over a German war memorial one time.

Okinawa did not bomb Pearl Harbor. The Japanese did. In 1941, Okinawa was independent of Japan. The Japanese simply conquered it like they did everything else at the time.

My best friend's mother is from Okinawa. They hated the Emperor and wanted to be independent of Japan. She even said the languages are different, albeit similar, but Okinawan is not Japanese.

Okinawa is now part of Japan, but it wasn't at the time in question.

If I recall correctly, she said that all the old folks voted *NOT* to become part of Japan, but all the young people, who didn't remember the brutal oppression by the Japanese, voted to be part of Japan.

At least that's what my friend's mom said.
