I’m with you.
December 7th is remembered as the day the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor without provocation nor a declaration of war.
Sept. 11th is being remembered as “a tragedy,” like a bridge collapse or a mine disaster, that sort of thing, ignoring the fact that a bunch of muslim freakzoids ATTACKED US!
If 9-11 is going to be “commemorated” in this way, count me out.
I like the French approach to their loss of the Alsace-Lorraine (sp?): “Always remember it, but never speak of it.”
“December 7th is remembered as the day the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor
without provocation nor a declaration of war.”
Surely, Sec. of State’s reception of the two Japanese emmissaries
while the Pearl Harbor attack was on-going is something that comes
to mind whenever dealing with the mendacious.
Hull just barely restrained himself from being the first American to
kill the enemy in hand-to-hand combat.

“After he had glanced at their copy of the fourteen-part message
[Japan’s declaration that negotiations were at an end], Hull’s anger
burst forth. ‘In all my fifty years of public service,’ he told the
astonished diplomats, ‘I have never seen such a document that was
more crowded with infamous falsehood and distortion.’
Nomura and Kurusu, who had not been told of the attack, bowed themselves
out in an embarrassed fluster. A department official overheard Hull
muttering under his breath as the door closed, ‘Scoundrels and piss-ants.’ “
