Pearl Harbor wasn't really a success in the eyes of the Japanese. They failed to sink our carriers, which was their number #1 priority. They did cause enough damage to piss us off and kick their ass's, though..
"I fear that all we have accomplished is waking up a sleeping giant." or something like that. Man, was he right, or was he right?

"I fear we have awoken a sleeping giant."
"In the first six to twelve months of a war with the United States and Great Britain I will run wild and win victory upon victory. But then, if the war continues after that, I have no expectation of success."

That day will never be forgotten by me....neither will 9/11. And damn the Japanese of that era for such a cowardly attack. They got what they deserved.
When I was recently in California visiting my Mom, I saw some very disturbing displays on a few of the beaches. These people had placed a small white cross for every US soldier that had died in the Iraq War. But, they were not honoring them or praising them for their heroic and brave efforts...they were instead making an insulting mockery of our nation and the brave men and women by saying they had died in vain because we had no right to be over there in the first place. I was going to say something to them, but my Mom being the peacemaker she is persuaded me not to. Where do these radical, freaks of nature come from?? It really is sad that some people just cannot grasp the entire reality of true freedom.
