What famous historical event happened on this day in 1941? I KNOW some of you servicepeople (especially sailors and marines) know the answer - some of you are stationed where it happened!

Pearl Harbor. 2,300 people doesn't seem like that big of a deal when you think of how many people die of completely preventable things like tuberculosis, malaria, dirty water or starvation every die. Or the people in Sudan. Or the 100,00+ innocent Iraqi civilians in the US's initial bombing. But the exciting things are what catch people's attention. For ex., breast cancer tons of attention, prostate cancer- cricket chirp.

Today is the day that will live in INFAMY !!!
Today is the day that Japan attacked the US Naval Fleet at Pearl Harbor.
Side note though from the History channel which stated that the US Navy actually fired the first shot when a US Ship sunk a Japanese 2 man sub.

As a liberal, I know the answer. On December 7, 1941, the United States set out on an operation to win the hearts and minds of the Japenese people. Concerned with maintaining international support, Roosevelt suspended all action until the U.N. approved it. The United States withdrew from Germany (they weren't winning the peace, see source) and immediately engaged in diaglouge with the fascists. Eventually, the Natzis and Europe were able to create a "two riech solution" that allowed Europe to be obliterated. But since we didn't give Musileeni his fair share of this country, I am ashamed to be an American.

Today is Pearl Harbor day. It is as significant in our nation's history as 9-11 and if there is anyone out there (in the USA) who does not know what Pearl Harbor day is, you owe it to yourself to find out!

Pearl Harbor of course. Im not in the service, but I do have common sense. Do not forget the more than 2300 people who died today.
