"ok so if we are so bad now were we any better on December 7, 1941? Wasn't it a much nicer place - no 900 numbers or abortion. If there is a God she has one warped sense of humor."
In fact, while war waged round the war, we saw no war here on U.S. soil aside from the terrible tragedy of Pearl Harbor. Our entrance into the European theater was at our choosing, not because Hitler dropped a few bombs over New York City. America was very blessed during WWII, and we proved to be a blessing to many other nations--even our enemies, whom we helped rebuild.
Will we be able to say the same this time?
I don't buy it war is war and Hitler had to be stopped. Let me introduce you to the new world of military hardware. IF somebody gangs up on us the US will just go nuclear. It is that simple. WE can fight three Afgan size wars at the same time and still have superiority over all involved. They haven't even gotten into the really big stuff yet. Four or five BUFFS is nothing if you let all 100 of them loose they can make one hell of a mess in one night. I have seen them wortk in SEA and let me tell you it is scary stuff.
