why do you bring up the Auto Workers in a Pearl harbor thread?
There just may have been a few future UAW members at Pearl Harbor.

The Bombing of Pearl was a tragedy in many ways. Not only did it kill over 2400 people,primarily servicemen, but it set the stage for Curtis LeMay's devastating firebombing of Japan, and it sent thousands of Americans into the war in both the Pacific and Europe.
Had Japan simply ignored the US threat on their flank, in the Philippines, Roosevelt may have found it impossible to garner the support required for a declaration of war.
By December 7, 1941, a day that will live in infamy, the German Werhmacht had already lost their chance at a knockout blow against Russia. A Year later, before the US presence was felt in Europe, Stalingrad destroyed any remaining chance Germany had of victory.

Yamamoto had predicted Japan's defeat before the attack. It is unfortunate that the Japanese hawks did not listen to him.

History repeats. America will always do the right thing in the end. Even when they don't want to do it and do everything possible to do it a more gentler way, there comes a time when they are simply attacked so strongly that they do the right thing. This was so in both great wars. My father fought in the last war as a Canadian pilot and I fought in seventy three using the Canadian friendly transfer agreement that stands to this day.

My father joined up long before America did, but he told me that America is a gentle giant in comparison to the other large countries and as such is slow to anger, unless you punish its citizens.

I will have prayers said that day. For all who died in the preserving of a far more tolerant world. For that's what is at stake. Tolerance ratios across the world shows the real truth of what's out there.
