About Pearl Harbor Memorial Fund

You don't see the two tied together? Had America joined the fray after Germany's attack on Poland do you think Japan would have attacked Pearl Harbor? I doubt it. Do you think there would have been a Pearl Harbour? What I am saying is that in some ways America sits back and waits too long to respond to external attacks.

Waiting until there's no other choice is NOT a good historical pattern to follow, and this is what connects my post to this thread.

America is being attacked on many fronts at the moment.
