I've seen several other posts on this topic, but I just have to comment. I watched a show on Pearl Harbor today on the History Channel and it just gets to you. Like watching the planes flying into the World Trade Center. Some day the US will be pushed too far, maybe not in my lifetime, but when it happens some countries and all their people are going to disappear.

I recorded all three History Channel Pearl Harbor shows today, they were incredible!
One was really prophetic, warning about if we are not vigilant, we will pay with our blood.
It was filmed in 2000.

None BluSubie, my "Incredible Digital Guide" aka, "Big POS" only goes 12 hours ahead instead of the three weeks that the TimeWarner propaganda crew said it does.

But, PM me, EyeTV can do amazing things!

The one I watched was very good. It showed how the Japanese had planned to give 30 minutes warning so it would be a "fair attack", but they blew it and gave no warning. I don't know what good that would have done anyway. To be fair I guess we could have given 30 minutes warning before Hiroshima. What really go to me was the interviews with Japanese pilots who survived. They just seemed indifferent to the whole thing. And of course the US was ciritcized for discriminating against the Japanese in the US. What would you do?

BluSubie!
I apologize! The electrician was over and he turned off the electricity to the den, I forgot that my server is on the same breaker! I only got 1 hour and 25 minutes of a 2 hour broadcast!

The name of the show is "Tora, Tora, Tora: The Real Story of Pearl Harbor"

I live in Japan. War is rather strange I think. One guy I know loves jazz. He was a high school kid during the war and remembers watching the American bombers level parts of Kobe and Osaka with saturation bombing from the safety of Rokko mountain. After the war, he worked at a PX at an American base. There he heard jazz for the first time, made friends with some of the servicemen, and now thinks that Americans are great. Another friend is in his early 30s. There is a bit of pride detected when he talks about Pearl Harbor. Not for the deaths and destruction, but in the little country of Japan's ability to pull it off. He has many American friends in Hawaii and has visited there many times. I don't have any great insight to offer, just observations about the weirdness of war.
