Yes, I do know that one was a military attack and the other was an attack on our ideology / culture. They were both sneak attacks, caught on tape/television.
Has America lost its grit. I mean heck, during WW2 ( under a democratic president) we fire bombed Dresden Germany and killed 50,000 to 80,000 civilians.
But why doesn't America seem to care?

Emperor Hirohito approved the attack, the same as Bin Laden "approved" the attack. This just goes to show that America has lost its edge. I am pretty ashamed about how the media and Liberal minded people have ruined this country.

When you get right down to it, a war is a war..
Military men die, as well as civilians. What's justified and what's not is just a matter of point of view. Who's right and who's wrong depends on which side you are on. The "history" as we know it really depends on who's idea you listened to.
You'd think, we (the whole population of earth) have learned that by now, but I guess not.

We do have the same grit as they did after Pearl Harbor.
The big difference is there are too many people who have come to think that this world can be OK if we just play nice.
Sadly their is another factor people who want to make it political rather focusing in on the evil we are facing.
We also have the attention span of nanosecond and we want it to go prefect but that is not the way war is faught. Also we fighting a war not like WWII. There are no battle lines, uniforms, and flags we are use to. We have to fight it differently. Too much of it has to be keep out of the press which some don't like.
The consiparcy people don't help all they do is muddy the water with their fiction.

After Pearl Harbor we declared war on Japan (which had a defense treaty with Germany which meant a declaration of war on either one meant a declaration of war on both). Japan had attacked us at Pearl Harbor.
After 9/11 President and Commander in Chief George W. Bush diverted our war efforts from the Taliban and Osama bin Laden who attacked us on 9/11 to Iraq which had no ties to Bin Laden or 9/11.

yes... the only difference seems to be that our current leaders have no real concern for the man that planned the attack... Osama...
where they cared about the Japanese who planned the attack...
if Bush was president during WWII... apparently we would have attacked China instead of Japan... a war on "Asianfacists"...
it seems that America has lost the common sense to kill who attacked it... Osama...
I don't know why Americans don't seem to care about Osama anymore?
