Not Trying to start a flame war, just some thoughts.

9/11/01---> 5 years later, Osama running loose, mess in Afghanastan, bigger mess in Iraq, and gonna be another mess in Iran, and the rest of the middle east as well.
Americans have not changed there way of life too much, most, (like myself) piss and moan about fuel costs, etc. But, we still work our jobs, buy our groceries, and lead our lives pretty much the same.
And, like Skip said, most have forgotten..

12/07/41----Pearl Harbor Day... US declares war, not only on the attackers, Japan, but also on Germany,and Italy. MUCH SACRIFICE at home as well as those in the military, Automakers suspend production of cars, Major Rationing of everything, most males 35 years old and under, who are not working defense manufacturing jobs are in the service. Japanese Americans, are rounded up and encamped. Women, whose husbands are overseas, are pressed into working in the defense factories.. all major sports are shut down, players pressed into service, hollywood types as well..
4 and 1/2 years later.. WW2 over, Hitler dead, Japan overthrown, Mussolini, gone. Tremendous sacrifice and unity of us and the other countries we allied with...
Woud Not fly today, in this PC world.. ..
Would it? ....
