Brigz -> Happy Pearl Harbor Day (12/8/2002 3:37:27 AM)

Pearl Harbor Day. It's very interesting to note, over time, how the significance of this anniversary has deminished in public opinion. Not to ignore that all historical events tend to fade as time goes on, but this date, for all those bemoaning the world dominance of the US, marks the beginning of the journey for the US to super power status. We started with one of the most unprepared and small armies in the world and four years later ended up as the only country with the ability to wreak nuclear havoc on any country on the planet. I'd say this date is equally significant for those concerned with the power of the US and those who percieve safety in her strength.
