    69th Anniversary of Pearl Harbour attack

    Just though I'd point out that today's the 69th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl harbour. Just under 3000 casualties, trashed the US Pacific fleet and dragged the US kicking and screaming into WWII.

    Amen to that, Was it Admiral Yamamoto who was quoted as saying "I fear we will awaken a sleeping giant" when told of the plan to attack the US fleet in Pearl Harbour. Truer words were never spoken!
