Did you know... "That this Wednesday will be the 70th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. And there’s the key …. 70 years later we still call it the “Japanese” attack. But 10 years after 9/11 political correctness dictates that we can’t call that the Islamic attack on America."
If you can handle reading the opinions of "ivaninatlanta", you may be amused or angered by the comments to this article.
From 2001; Victor Davis Hanson: Dates in Infamy; December 7 and September 11. "Of course, in a rapidly changing and global culture, there are also many superficial differences between these attacks on America six decades apart. We are interviewing aliens, not interning citizens; our ancestors were asked to sacrifice for the war effort, we to spend our way out of a recession; few then had any qualms about hitting the Japanese back, yet our own cultural elite talk of the moral equivalence between terrorists deliberately killing the innocent in a time of peace, and soldiers consciously avoiding civilians in a time of war."
"Battleship Row" during the Pearl Harbor Attack
"This page features aerial views of the 7 December 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor's "Battleship Row", and provide links to other views of that area during and shortly after the attack."

A Look Back • Shocked moviegoers, angry recruits downtown react to Pearl Harbor
(Below) We grew up on films depicting patriotism and were ready to defend the country we loved. We later came to realize the great freedoms we cherished back then were withheld from many Americans and most of us cheered on Martin Luther King, Jr. and his noble and long-postponed cause. We believed -and still do-all that this cartoon depicted and did not want it tainted by Jim Crow; its idealism led us to correcting many of the wrongs we had done to other Americans.
What we must guard against now is that in the name of just tolerance we risk accepting behavior that tears out the moral foundation of our Judeo-Christian society. I'm afraid that is far along the road to being done now. You will not be seeing this cartoon in school anytime soon. TD
