Pearl Harbor Anniversary Today
My, it seems SOMEONE has been singing the same song a LONG, LONG time.
I read in the Times this morning an interview with Jeanette Rankin, who was the one member of Congress to vote against the declaration of war on December 8, 1941, to the accompaniment of a chorus of boos and hisses. Looking back, though, we can see that the Japanese had very real grievances, and that the United States had quite a significant share of responsibility in those grievances back in 1941.
-- Noam Chomsky, December 15, 1967
