It just so happens that I have recently been reading a rather thick book about the hearings based on the Pearl Harbor investigation. Some partisans blame Roosevelt. Others blame the Admirals and Generals. Some blame our intelligence gathering services. Sound familiar ?

When you look at the reasons why pearl Harbor happened from a Monday morning quarterback perspective you see a lot of reasons. There was arrogance in that many Americans including the pols and the military did not think that the "Japs" had the "smarts" to hit us. Some did not think that Japan had the equipment to fight with us. Some believed that the Japanese were all too short and had bad eyes so how could they see anything to bomb us or shoot at us.

The lunatic fringe believed that Roosevelt set us up and let the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor so we could enter the war. Does that sound familiar.
Isn't there a lunatic fringe in this country that thinks Bush let 9/11 happen so he could attack Iraq.
