Has Obama apologized to the Japanese yet for our part in Pearl Harbor?

Well it was pretty mean of us to cut off their oil supplies when they are trying to destroy China.

I saw today on Google News that researchers found the mini sub launched from I-16 that probably fired the torpedo that capsized Oklahoma.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

In Chancery Court this morning, the judge, an 87-year-old WW2 veteran (bomber pilot on D-Day) gave a brief speech about how Pearl Harbor day was a pivotal day in American history, and how we today should remember Pearl Harbor Day and reflect upon our own civic and political involvement, due to the crises we face today.  Nice.

I'm going to do my part by watching "Tora! Tora! Tora!".  And keying a Honda somewhere.
I think most US-sold Hondas are built here.  Key your Play Station.

You've got a point.  I think I'll throttle a preschooler with a Hello Kitty backpack.

WWII was really a win-win for then.  Win and they become a dominant world power, lose and they are losing to the United States so they should be a power anyway.
Plus they got that nifty opportunity for urban renewal.
It's a shame that North America has never catastrophically lost a modern war.  The destruction of US cities in the US Civil War and the War of 1812 wasn't able to be capitalized on.

Detroit sure looks like it lost a modern war...

Reagan did his best.

There was nobody capable of defeating the US during Reagan's presidency.

No, he destroyed the cities just fine on his own.

And, if you think nobody was capable of defeating the US, I give you: Cuban construction workers and one crazy nigger named Maurice.
