A Day of Infamy

It was today, in 1941, when the Japanese, unprovoked, killed thousands of American sailors and marines without a declaration of war.
The USS Oklahoma was destroyed and 400 troops were killed that fateful day. Not an act of declared war, but one of terrorism.
Sound familiar? It should. When terrorists slammed airplanes into the World Trade Center, it was an unprovoked attack that killed thousands.
What would have happened if during the Viet Nam War if the North Vietnamese would have attacked America on our shores?
What would the reaction be? Unified disgust with the enemy, our would John Kerry and Jane Fonda continued to support the enemy and destroy the morale of our troops?
I guess that would be a bit different than Muslim terrorists, since the Japanese and Vietnamese troops, for the most part, wore uniforms that identified them as the enemy. Terrorists don't.
And now, the Democrat Party Chair(man) says we are in a war that we can't win.
Former Governor and Presidential candidate Howard Dean says we should give up.
What an outrage. I was worried about conservatives and the elections next year, but with Howard and others in the democrat party making statements like these, it's going to be tough for the liberal party to disconnect from these people who call our troops terrorists and say we can't win a war while American troops are engaged in a struggle to create freedom and help prevent more terrorist attacks on our shores.
