I wonder what the men in those graves would make of the idea of a preemptive strike? After all, Pearl Harbor was a preemptive strike by the Nippon Empire against the United States.

I don't think they would have had much of a problem with a pre-emptive strike on Japan, considering that many might still be alive today had we done just that.

So when President Roosevelt went before the Congress of the United States and declared that the attack on Pearl Harbor was a day that would live in infamy---he just didn't know what he was talking about.....
